Lokomotiv defender Alexander Silyanov revealed that his team will focus on the FONBET Russian Cup for their remaining season games. The comments came after Lokomotiv defeated Akhmat 2-1 at home Tuesday, advancing through the first stage of the Russian Cup Regions Path semifinals. Silyanov described the victory as strange because his team defended for most of the match despite scoring twice. He admitted they struggled with ball possession throughout the game.

When asked about the busy match schedule heading into championship season, Silyanov said players have adjusted to the demanding calendar. He confirmed that Lokomotiv will prioritize cup competition since their spring championship performance has been disappointing during his appearance on Match TV following the victory against Akhmat.

Lokomotiv will next face either Rostov or Zenit in the second semifinal stage. Their opponent will be whichever team loses the RPL Path semifinal between those two clubs. The cup tournament offers Lokomotiv their best chance for season success after recent league difficulties.
