Aleksеy Batrakov’s second-half finish was enough to secure all three points for FK Lokomotiv Moskva in a 1–0 away win over FK Orenburg on RFPL matchday 25.
The only goal of the game arrived in the 70th minute. Batrakov struck for the visitors with a regular-time effort, finishing off a move set up by Aleksandr Silyanov. The goal shifted a finely balanced contest in Lokomotiv’s favour and proved decisive as Orenburg were unable to find a response.
Discipline played a visible role across the 90 minutes. Orenburg’s Gedeon Guzina received the first yellow card of the match in the 42nd minute, followed a minute later by a booking for Lokomotiv’s Artem Karpukas. The visitors picked up further cautions in the second half, with Zelimkhan Bakaev shown yellow on 60 minutes, and late cards brandished to Dmitry Vorobyev and Lucas Fasson in stoppage time.
Orenburg’s frustration grew in the closing stages as Jhon Palacios was booked in the 89th minute, and goalkeeper Bogdan Ovsyannikov also entered the referee’s book in added time. In total, both sides ended the match with several players on yellow cards as tensions rose with the result on a knife edge.
Both coaches turned to their benches to influence the game. Lokomotiv introduced Lucas Vera for Karpukas on 54 minutes and Daniil Chevardin for Bakaev in the 64th minute, adjustments that preceded the breakthrough. Orenburg responded with multiple changes of their own: Alexandre Jesus replaced Guzina on 61 minutes, followed by Ruslan Kul and Dmitrii Rybchinskii entering on 71 and 72 minutes respectively, before late substitutions involving Stanislav Poroykov and Renat Golybin.
