Rakov and Fasson scored for the hosts to ensure a positive start to the new campaign. This after Sarkisyan gave the visitors a first half lead.
With another two matches after this, Lokomotiv look to continue and build on the strong start made.

Akbashev scored the only goal for Fakel to ensure another dominant win as they finished runners-up in the 1.Division with 74 points.

Fakel begin their campaign later this month against Krasnodar and will look to get the perfect practice in this one.
