Goal spree in Perovo
Lokomotiv overcome Rostov FC in Gameweek 13 match of ROSGOSSTRAKH Russian Youth football championship.
A few regular starters were omitted from Lokomotiv’s line-up against Rostov. Makhatadze and Galanin are capped for FIFA U-17 World Cup 2015 in Chile for the time being. Kipiani was out as he had been red-carded in the previous match.
It was a game of two halves, the first one belonging to Rostov. The away team showed pace and made quick transitions from defending to attacking. Rostov scored an opener already in the 9th minute, when Nikolic followed up on a rebound.
But soon, Lokomotiv started turning the tables on them. We could have levelled and even gone up by one or two. There came Samohvalov’s attempt which lacked precision, Smirnov’s header in a one-on-one went over the bar and the shot by Galadzhan from some eight meters’ range was saved by the keeper.
In the second half Lokomotiv outplayed the visitors. Within the space of twenty minutes Anisimov scored two fantastic goals. On 47 minute, Denis picked up a pass just outside the box, went on a mazy run into the danger zone and cancelled the deficit. On 66 minutes, the player dodged past two opponents and took the low road. This was the third goal for Loko. In between the two stunners by Anisimov, Zhemaletdinov had slotted home a penalty.
Late into the game, the sides scored three more times. Akhmaev bagged a brace and Rubtsov converted a one-on-one chance - the latter goal deciding the fate of the game. Lokomotiv win their third match in succession and rise to the third place of the tournament table.
