On Saturday, Rubin, who returned to the RPL, played away with Lokomotiv. The meeting in Moscow ended with a score of 2:2, the Kazan team led twice and conceded the second goal in the 87th minute. A couple of Lokomotiv central defenders in the match were 22-year-old Evgeny Morozov, who made his debut for the team, and Lucas Fasson, who had been absent from the application for a long time.
“Egor Pogostnov was ill, he started training quite recently. Lukas Fasson and Yevgeny Morozov played the last test match together. But we have no right to concede such easy goals.
Lokomotiv cornerback Nair Tiknizyan scored in the third match in a row. Forward Artem Dziuba spent all 90 minutes on the field.
«All the sharpness of the flank game came from the defenders who joined the attack. And scoring chances arose precisely due to the work of the attackers. Artem Dziuba effectively played the role of a player through which all these attacks were received,» Galaktionov added.
In the next round Lokomotiv will play away with Fakel Voronezh on July 30.
