Our Youth Team Beat Ufa
Lokomotiv juniors defeated FC Ufa during Gameweek 7 of the ROSGOSSTRAKH Russian Championship.
Before the fixture with Ufa, Loko youth outfit was boosted with Dmitriy Barinov stepping down from the main team to get some playing time. And just one and a half minute from the start, he scored a magnificent goal. A long-range screamer caught Ufa goalkeeper completely off guard.
The Lokomotiv side were excellent in the opening half. Long enough, the visitors could barely get a feel of the ball. The Railwaymen remained in possession and kept threatening the opposition's goal. Near the stroke of half-time, Lokomotiv doubled the lead. Taking the cue from Barinov, Galanin put home another shot from distance and was a bit less lucky to thump the post in the attack that came next.
In the second half Lokomotiv pulled back allowing Ufa balance play. On 72 minutes Blinnikov latched onto an incisive pass into space and slotted the ball past Lobantsev. Shortly before the final whistle, Tugarev earned a penalty with Rubstov helping his team to escape a tetchy spell late in the match.
