Football coach and former player of the capital's "Lokomotiv" team Vadim Yevseyev evaluated the victory of the "railwaymen" in the first round of the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that at the beginning of the game, Batrakov should have converted his one-on-one opportunity during the collision. If that had happened, the situation of the game would have been different.
The "Lokomotiv" team could have scored a goal in the 25th minute and secured the victory. However, Yevseyev stated in an interview with Metaratings that the goals that changed the final result of the game were scored by players brought onto the field through the correct substitutions made by coach Mikhail Galaktionov.
It is worth noting that the "Lokomotiv" team scored three unanswered goals against "Sochi". All of these goals were scored at the end of the second half of the game.
In the next, second round, the team led by Mikhail Galaktionov will play as guests against the reigning Russian champion "Krasnodar". This match is expected to be highly competitive and interesting.
