Recently, the game “railroad workers” is raising more and more questions from fans and specialists. The rojiverdes do not shine in attack and there is something to add in defense. The team scores little, although the players ahead of Lokomotiv are some of the best in the Premier League: Artem Dzyuba, Sergey Pinyaev, Maxim Glushenkov, Anton Miranchuk.
In Sochi, things are also going very far from what the club management and the head coach of the southerners Dmitry Khokhlov would like. To be fair, in today’s match the Sochians could count on more, but in the end they were left with nothing: Glushenkov scored the only goal in the 57th minute after a pass from Dzyuba.
Thanks to the victory, Lokomotiv moved up to eighth in the table with nine points, while Sochi is 12th with six points.
The full RPL table is as follows: Krasnodar (14 points), Zenit, Ural (13 each), Wings of the Soviets, Dynamo (11 each), CSKA, Spartak (10 each), Lokomotiv (9), Akhmat, Pari NN, Rostov (7 each), Sochi, Rubin (6 each), Fakel (4), Baltika (3), “Orenburg” (2).
