Vladimir Ponomarev, former football player of CSKA and the USSR national team, commented on the draw between Lokomotiv Moscow and the army team in the 24th week match of the Russian Premier League (RPL).
The match ended in a 1:1 draw. In the 22nd minute, the red-blue striker Anton Zabalotny scored. In the 87th minute, Lokomotiv’s Wilson Isidor equalized on the scoreboard. CSKA played in the majority throughout the second half. In the 40th minute, “railway” defender Mario Mitai was sent off by two yellow cards.
“They are to blame, Fedotov is to blame – he took the whole attack: both Zabolotny and Chalov. He went on the defensive? Youth set. Ok, if the score is 2:0 or 3:0 – put the youth for God’s sake. But he spoiled the game.
Tired of post-Ural CSKA players? We were not tired of anything, we had enough time to rest, two days of recovery – and onward. Fedotov’s fault in today’s draw is completely and completely, ”says Ponomarev “Sport Express”.
Thus, CSKA ranks fourth in the Russian Championship standings with 45 points. Lokomotiv has collected 29 points and is in tenth place.
In the next round, CSKA will play away with Akhmat Grozny (April 29). Lokomotiv will play Khimki at home (April 30).
