Ten-man Lokomotiv hold out for goalless draw

Khimki 0-0 Lokomotiv Moscow
Saturday 25 September, Arena Khimki 

Sent off: Lokomotiv - Guilherme 54'
Man of the Match: Reziuan Mirzov (Khimki) 

Lokomotiv survived going down to 10 men to remain unbeaten as they picked up their fifth draw of the campaign. 

After a tight first half with few clear-cut chances, Khimki suddenly gained an advantage when Guilherme was sent off for the visitors. In his place came 17-year-old Daniil Khudyakov for his senior debut. 

A moment later, Reziuan Mirzov almost put Khimki on front with a dangerous dipping effort that smacked against the crossbar. 

Khimki go 14th on seven points, while Lokomotiv go second on 17 points.
