Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at RZD Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
10' Malcom has been relatively quiet despite scoring 47 goals in his last 513 appearances.
15' The 39-year-old Mikhail Kerzhakov has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
19' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Tin Jedvaj.
24' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
29' 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.
34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Maciej Rybus on 34.
35' Maciej Rybus has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 35.
40' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
42' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Daniil Kulikov on 42 minutes.
46' A tactical swap from FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg — Dmitri Chistyakov on, Danil Krugovoi off on 46 minutes.
48' That is a Yellow card for FK Lokomotiv Moskva. Francois Kamano will be fuming at that decision.
50' Daler Kuzyaev has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 50.
51' It’s a booking for FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg player. Daler Kuzyaev gets a Red card.

57' The whistle greets Francois Kamano as he departs to be replaced by Dmitrii Rybchinskii.
62' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FK Lokomotiv Moskva and FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
67' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
72' 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 Artem Dzyuba suffering a number of foals already.

76' The referee shows FK Lokomotiv Moskva player a Yellow card on 76.

84' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Aleksei Sutormin makes no mistake. 0-1!
84' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Guilherme on 84 minutes.
85' GOAL! Aleksei Sutormin scores on 85.
86' The FK Lokomotiv Moskva bench stirs into life. Daniil Kulikov is withdrawn and Vital Lisakovic gets his opportunity.
88' The whistle greets Sardar Azmoun as he departs to be replaced by Artem Dzyuba.
89' A stunning finish from Fedor Smolov — that came from absolutely nowhere!
