This year, having spent a great season in European stadiums, Moscow did not have the opportunity to compete in any of the European cups. This became clear after yesterday's Russian Cup quarterfinal second leg matches.
Moscow "Lokomotiv" 4:1 Yaroslavl
First leg - 0:3
Goals:
42' Dmitrij Loskov (11 m.) [1:0]
54' Dmitrij Khochlov [2:0]
56' Sergey Gurenko [3:0]
57' Alexander Shirko [3:1]
72' Dmitry Sychyov [4:1]
"Lokomotiv" attacked from the first minutes. However, they only managed to score the first goal at the end of the half. After receiving Loskov's pass in the penalty area, Pimenov falls, and the referee awards a penalty kick. Loskov is successful in scoring the penalty - 1:0.
At the beginning of the second half, Yaroslavl players were even more pressed towards their goal. Sychyov's quick pass leads to Khochlov one-on-one with the goalkeeper. The latter had no chance - 2:0. "Shinnik" in trouble. After 180 seconds, the score further increases - Avetia, who started the match on the bench, notices Gurenko approaching the penalty area line at full speed. A modern pass and a flawless shot - 3:0. It seems "Shinnik" will not avoid extra time. However, in this matter Shirko had his own opinion - 3:1.
After the missed goal, the "railwaymen" have to start everything from scratch - they need to score two goals. They managed to only do half of the job. Sychyov heads in the fourth goal after a cross into the penalty area.
Meanwhile, "Lokomotiv" only had hopes left for success in the Russian Cup competition. However, their hopes were dashed.
