Today Lokomotiv learned the opposition which they have to face in the 6th round of the Rambler Russian Cup. This was decided after today 32 teams confronted each other in a bid for the next round. Actually the one-legged knock-out determined the 16 teams which will be added to the 16 Premier League clubs which will make up the 6th round in a bid for a place in the 7th round, the round preceeding the quarter-finals of the Russian Cup.
Actually, Lokomotiv will face second-division club (third tier of the Russian football system), FC Gornyak Uchaly, who amazingly today eliminated first division outfit Ural Sverdlovsk Oblast with the score of 3-2. It's important to recall that Ural were the club which Lokomotiv succumbed to in the last edition of the national cup.
The encounter will be held in Uchaly on the 14 of July.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog, so I will be following it closely from now on.
I'm a Loko fan from Australia.
It is amazing that Gornyak have made it this far in the cup, but should be a nice win for Loko!
Thanks mate - slowed down recently due to exams and related material. Should be back to normal however.
ReplyDeleteBtw - thats cool. I'm from Australia too (Melbourne born), but currently I'm residing in Malta.
Ultimately, its a pity but Gornyak went even farther by dumping our Lokomotiv outside of the Russian Cup.
