Aleksandr Bukharov insists that Zenit St. Petersburg gave it all against Lokomotiv Moscow

missed a golden chance to cement his team’s position.
“When the score was 2-0, I could not imagine that our opponents had a chance to even equalize. But things turned out quite differently and my goal did not bring any points to the team.”
“Lokomotiv scored goals in the second half, because they have a wee bit of luck. I had another scoring chance in the game but their goalkeeper acted well. If I would have scored another goal than the Loko would have had no chances for any come back. We need
to focus on our defence while displaying attacking and entertaining football.” The former Rubin Kazan player was quoted as saying.
