Man of the Match: Christian Ramirez (Krasnodar)

Krasnodar came back at home stadium with impressive win over Lokomotiv, which was made in the final 15 minutes. In the first half the closest chances to open the score were the breakaways, but Wilson Isidor’s attempt was stopped by Matvey Safonov with his face, while Irakly Manelov missed the net in the final seconds before the half-time.

Ivan Ignatyev, who made first start as Lokomotiv player, also tried to score against native side, but was denied by old mate Safonov. Krasnodar’s goal came out of nowhere, as Christian Ramirez, never scored in RPL previously, shot the ball from left angle of the box. Then there went twins’ goals, as Olakule Olusegun ran through the half of the pitch and beat Daniil Khudyakov twice making him as goalkeeper with most conceded goals so far this season. These are first goals for Nigerian youngster in Russian topflight.

Krasnodar move to fourth with eight points, while Lokomotiv drop to 14th on two points.
