Lokomotiv lost to Krasnodar

Before the match with Krasnodar, Lokomotiv lost Murilo due to suspension. The Brazilian was replaced by Rajkovic in the center of defence, Krychowiak and Magkeev formed a partnership in midfield, Rybus and Zhivoglyadov played on the wings in the defence, Ignatiev and Rybchinsky started on the wings in midfield, Miranchuk played with Eder in the attack.

Lokomotiv started the match badly. On the fifth minute, after a throw in, Krychowiak made an inaccurate pass that put Claesson into a perfect position - the Swede didn’t miss from 12 meters.

Six minutes later, the "railroad workers" gifted opponent another goal. After Magkeev lost the ball in middle of the pitch, Krasnodar organized a quick attack, Guilherme coped with Claesson's shot, but Ionov and Cabella managed to finish it off - 2:0.

In the middle of the half, Krasnodar created two more chances. Olsson went one-on-one and shot straight at Guilherme, but Krasnodar player was again first on the rebound and would have scored if not for Rajkovic, who cleared the ball from the goal line.

Soon Corluka made an inaccurate pass, which Claesson intercepted and sent Cabella through on the wing. The Frenchman made a low cross into the center of the penalty area, where Berg shot above the goal.

Lokomotiv was supposed to get one goal back in the 45th minute. Eder was brought down in the penalty area and after watching the replay the referee awarded a penalty. However, luck turned away from our team in this episode too - Gorodov coped with Miranchuk's penalty.

In the second half, Lokomotiv tried to rectify the situation. The team pushed the game away from the goal, held the ball and should have scored at least one goal. Krychowiak burst forward, walked away from two defenders, rolled the ball to Miranchuk - first Anton’s shot hit the defender, and then Grzegorz shot straight at the goalkeeper.

Three minutes later, Corluka and Rajkovic were unable to clear the ball inside the penalty box - Berg finished the chance from a close range. Six minutes later, our defenders lost Suleymanov, who shot past Guilherme from five meters, and on the 85th minute Berg made the score 5:0.
