He is back. Jefferson Farfán found the back of the net. The 'Foquita' scored his first official goal of the season with Lokomotiv, in the second match of the Russian Premier League. The Peruvian forward appeared with a header in the 24th minute to put his team ahead against CSKA Moscow.

Rarely done, Farfán scored with a header, anticipating his defenders after a corner kick, and overcoming the resistance of the CSKA goalkeeper.
Already in the first match of the Russian League, in the victory against Arsenal Tula, the 'Foquita' had shown to be in perfect physical condition by playing the full 90 minutes. And on this Friday, once again as a starter on the right side for Lokomotiv, Jefferson found the goal he had been looking for to gain confidence and demonstrate that he can be taken into account in the Peruvian National Team. In fact, Farfán has not been called up to the 'Blanquirroja' since March 2016. In the match against Venezuela, the forward had to retire due to injury in the 60th minute.
