Lokomotiv won a strong-willed victory over the capital’s army team.

Lokomotiv continued their away streak with another victory. This time the Yaroslavl team met with the capital’s CSKA club. Last season, it was the Moscow “horses” that became the stumbling block, because of which Lokomotiv did not advance further into the playoffs. Therefore, the fans were looking forward to the first game with the “red stars” with caution.

But the team was able to please the fans with a stubborn fight and a well-deserved victory. In the first period, already in the second minute, Yaroslav Likhachev, with a feed from Shalunov, scored a spectacular goal into the opponent’s goal.

Denis Alekseev, assisted by Rushan Rafikov and Alexander Polunin, consolidated the success in the seventeenth minute of the match.

In the second period, the home team were able to break through Daniil Isaev’s goal. The second goal was not counted by the referees; it was made during an offside position.

The score did not change until the end of the match. The result of the meeting was 1-2 in favor of Lokomotiv.

Daniil Isaev was definitely named the best player of the match, having reflected 34 shots on target.

The next opponent is Dynamo Minsk. Fans may think that after the victory over CSKA, the Bisons will be easy prey. But you shouldn’t relax – this year the “railwaymen” are playing extremely illogically, winning victories over the obvious leaders of the conferences and losing devastatingly to the outsiders of the table.
