Orenburg and Lokomotiv Moscow shared a 1-1 draw in the Premier Liga, with the home side dominating the statistics but failing to turn that into a win. Lokomotiv struck early, yet Orenburg's persistence earned them a point.
Aleksey Batrakov put Lokomotiv ahead in the third minute from Aleksandr Silyanov's assist. Orenburg levelled on 62 minutes when Andrey Kasadzhikov converted Ruslan Kul's pass, and that proved the final say. Evgeni Bolotov, Ruslan Kul and Ilya Lantratov were shown yellow cards.
Orenburg had 24 shots to Lokomotiv's ten and eight on target to two, yet needed a second-half equaliser to rescue the draw. They created four big chances, missed three, and were kept out by six saves from the Lokomotiv goalkeeper. The visitors, despite managing only two shots on target, had taken the lead early and held on.
