The match ended in a 2:2 draw. The list of complaints includes the following: the penalty was not awarded due to a foul committed by goalkeeper Pesyakov against Batrakov in the 81st minute, the disallowance of Komlichenko's goal in added time of the second half, and three minutes later, he was given a second warning.

Additionally, the team may express dissatisfaction with other decisions made by the head of the refereeing group, Sergey Karasyov. After this game, "Lokomotiv" is in fourth place in the Russian Premier League standings with 15 points.

Also, "Baltika" and CSKA have 15 points each, while "Krasnodar" leads with 16 points.
