Again 4:0!
Lokomotiv's youth team have thrashed SKA-Khabarovsk in a third consecutive win.
Lokomotiv welcomed SKA-Khabarovsk in the position of a leader of the tournament. After a draw against Arsenal the young Railroaders beat CSKA and Anji. The youth from Khabarovsk started off well and had climbed as high as the 6th spot.
This is the second game in a row when the team got reinforcement from the main squad who sent Artyom Galadzhan and Timofey Margasov down to get some playing time. Nikita Dorofeyev and Maksim Chikanchi kept them company after playing at Kazanka on Thursday.
And it was a duo of Dorofeyev and Galadzhan who made the first goal. Nikita picked up the ball after a cross from the right and sent it back to the box where Artyom finished it right between the two defenders Galadzhan was extremely active and was trying to strike from any position.
In half-time Artyom was subbed off for Rubtsov. And it took Ilya just nine minutes to score. Dorofeyev launched another offensive that culminated in a pass to the box where Rubtsov was quick to produce an effective shot - 2:0.
Nine minutes before the break Dorofeyev set up for a third goal. Nikita received the ball in midfield and rolled it on to Ignatenko who was breaking free from his markers. He made the score big by chipping the keeper. Ilya Rubtsov scored the fourth goal minutes before the final whistle.
The Lokomotiv youth team have secured a third victory in a row and are standing second on the tournament table.
