Expert Sportbox.ru analyzes the main matches of Saturday in the RPL.
Fakel – Dynamo (3:3)
The game, of course, turned out to be combat. Three goals in three minutes is generally something. However, I have already said a lot about the fact that Fakel is a fast and technical team. They are focused on the fight and just do not concede.
Today Fakel had many scoring chances. In the first half, Dynamo looked better, but after the break, the hosts came out completely different. What happened to the “white-blue” – we need to understand. But Voronezh residents can only applaud for their character. They didn’t despair after 0:2, and then even bounced back in the last minutes. It costs a lot!

For Dynamo, this is, of course, a loss of points. According to how the meeting developed, the guests were required to take three points. However, once again problems in defense affected. The defenders of the “white-and-blue” constantly lose positions, underplay episodes, allow the attackers to feel at ease in the penalty area. Take at least the third goal – Yaroslav Gladyshev takes out the ball right in the center, where he is immediately picked up by the Torch player. It is impossible to take out in the center, this is an axiom! Most of the rebounds today turned out to be for the Voronezh team – they were much quicker on the rebound.
Zenit — Lokomotiv (5:0)
Loko managed to hold out only for a half. In the first 45 minutes, the guests had counterplay, there were chances for scoring. Then, immediately after the break, Kamano could have scored, and after that – as he cut off.
At some point, the railway workers began to clearly give up functionally. They sat down deeper and deeper, allowing Zenit to combine near their penalty area. Almost no pressure, lost in density. The center was completely under the control of the Petersburgers, they dominated the field and calmly entered the penalty area. Well, the Brazilians of “Zenith” once again decided everything. Wendel, Claudinho and Malcolm all excelled today. And the guests were already finished off by fresh Russians – Adamov, Sergeev and Bakaev.
What to do: Loko has a lot of problems with the organization of the game in defense, and you can’t go far on one attacking line. Affect and lack of teamwork, and inexperience, and just nerves. Take at least Dmitry Barinov’s foul on Malcolm. This violation was already completely meaningless. Score 0:3! Why grab him?!

The position of the railroad is now extremely sad. As a result of the tour, they may be in the relegation zone. But this team is far from the last in Russia!
