Juniors Surrender to Dynamo
Lokomotiv youth team lost against Dynamo in Gameweek 17 of the Russian Football Championship.
Lokomotiv and Dynamo Moscow were sitting just two points apart before the encounter. Both sides had a chance to move closer to the top, and therefore they started out at a high pace. Smirnov could have notched one up off a free kick already in second minute, but the ball hit the outside of the net.
The game’s crucial moment happened in the 17th minute, when Rubtsov was ejected for a foul in midfield. After that, Lokomotiv’s play broke down. In the following ten minutes, Dynamo scored three times. The first goal by Morgunov came off Buettner’s assist, then Buettner himself converted a penalty and a little later he lobbed the ball over to Katrich who put in a header.
Yet, Lokomotiv were not going to give up. Mere moments from restart, Mostovoy reduced the deficit and was bound to score another in the attack that came right after - the crossbar got in the way. The entire second half belonged to the Railwaymen, but somehow the finishing touch eluded us. We had chances. Eight minutes before the final whistle Miranchuk missed a penalty.
