  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FK Lokomotiv Moskva and FK Nizhny Novgorod is underway.
  • 5' Vadim Rakov has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 364 appearances.
  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kirill Gotsuk made 149 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.

  • 34' It is a substitution in FK Lokomotiv Moskva team. Danila Godyaev is replaced by Vladislav Sarveli on 34 minute.
  • 39' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ilya Samoshnikov suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 45' Sven Karic is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 48' FK Lokomotiv Moskva is taking the lead after the goal scored by Dmitry Vorobyev on 45.

  • 61' Sven Karic is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FK Nizhny Novgorod tonight.
  • 62' Juan Castillo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Vyacheslav Grulev at the 62 minute mark.
  • 67' FK Nizhny Novgorod is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • 79' Time for substitution for FK Lokomotiv Moskva. Dmitry Vorobyev is replaced by Timur Suleimanov.
  • 84' FK Lokomotiv Moskva seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 86' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Ilya Samoshnikov on 86 minutes.
  • 88' A tactical swap from FK Nizhny Novgorod — Thiago Vecino on, Juan Boselli off on 88 minutes.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FK Lokomotiv Moskva players.
