Cold Shower in Siberia

As compared to the previous game against Spartak Moscow, manager Leonid Kuchuk brought three changes in the starting eleven. Roman Shishkin was installed in the right back position, and Maksim Grigoryev and Felipe Caicedo were sent to implement the coach's plan up front.

FC Tom's players, used to the frosty weather that's taken hold of their region recently, managed an early goal. In the fourth minute the hosts made a long throw-in, Loko's defenders cleared but Bashkirov intercepted the ball just outside the box and rifled at the corner with no chances for the keeper.

The Railwaymen regained possession immediately but the quality of the pitch did not allow for combination play. Smart moves that the visitors tried to perform at the opponents' half fell apart simply because the ball kept bouncing off the hummocks.

Tom kept failing in setting up counterattacks but somehow they doubled the lead. Golyshev entered the box opposed by Jan Durica. After some shoulder-to-shoulder ruffle Golyshev fell on the ground and the referee blew for a penalty. Ignatovic was cool from the spot.

Despite that, Lokomotiv ruled the midfield due to activities of Lass Diarra and Dmitry Tarasov. But the referee interfered again: he thought Tarasov made a rough challenge against an opponent, and issued him another yellow card that immediately converted into the red one.

In the second half, the Railwaymen possessed the ball and created good opportunities but failed to capitalize on them. Still, we are second in the table despite this slip.
