Opening

Baltika lost 0:1 to Lokomotiv. Andrei Mostovoy scored in the 85th minute, but reducing the match to a single episode would be too easy.

The hosts ran more, pressed better, won the ball back more often and reached dangerous areas far more frequently. But Lokomotiv created the better chances: 1.03 xG against 0.66. Baltika won the territory but couldn't use it in front of goal.
