The game ended in a draw (1:1). In the first half, the ball was scored by Jan Kuchta from Rifat Zhemaletdinov’s pass. In the second half, the return goal was scored by Patriot Sejdiu.

The forward of Loko tried to beat the goalkeeper on the penalty line and hit with his left food into the near corner, but the ball hit the post.

And in the 36th minutes, Lokomotiv opened the score — the bunch worked. The bunched, which had already brought several goals at these training camps. Russians earned a free kick on the left wing, away from the gate. And after Zhemaletdinov’s gorgeous service to the far post, Jan Kuchta left his guarding, came right to the pass and accurately shot from a very difficult situation, sending the ball into the far bottom corner, 1:0.

In the second half, our four fresh footballers appeared on the field: instead of Babkin, Barinov, Nenakhov and Tiknizyan we saw Kerk, Beka Beka, Pablo and Rybus. In the 54th minute, the Swedes managed to equalize the score. After the protracted attack, the ball bounced into the right side of the penalty area, to Sejdiu, who overplayed Khudyakov from close blank range.
