Friday August 6, BetBoom Arena, Ufa

Sent off: Lokomotiv - Barinov 45+7'
Man of the Match: Pablo (Lokomotiv)

Marko Nikolic’s Lokomotiv Moscow couldn’t keep up their perfect start to the season, and were held to a draw by Ufa. Though the away side were dominant for most of the game, a sending off for Dmitry Barinov tipped the scales in Ufa’s favour. Oleg Ivanov converted the subsequent penalty, and set Ufa on course for a victory.

It wasn’t all over yet though, substitute Vitaly Lisakovich scored with a powerful left-footed effort in the 73rd minute and did enough to ensure that Loko didn’t walk away empty handed.
