An agonizing goal from Eder gave Lokomotiv Moscow a 1-0 victory over Rostov in a tight match in the eleventh round of the Russian Premier League.
Peruvian Jefferson Farfán played the full 90 minutes and had a good performance despite not being able to score. The 'Foquita' was once again as a center forward and was marked very well.
As for the game, the first half was somewhat dull, with few goal opportunities. It wasn't until the second half that the actions improved and it was the Moscow team that ended up taking the three points thanks to the goal from the forward who crowned Portugal as European champions a few months ago.
With this result, Lokomotiv Moscow reached 23 points and takes second place in the standings, pending the Krasnodar match.
