Lokomotiv will play against Torpedo Armavir in the 1/16 of the Russian Cup.
The game will be taken in Armavir on September 23 or 24. The exact date will be known later.
Torpedo play in the small Yunost (just 5000 sitting capacity) and are coached by the famous Spartak's legend Valerij Karpin.
Former Lokomotiv's player Ruslan Pimenov commented the draw: "I think it'll be a great game between Lokomotiv and a well-known coach like Karpin. Thanks to him, many people started being interested in Torpedo. Lokomotiv have had one of the best start of the season in their history. It'll be tough for the Armavir club to resist to Lokomotiv. However, also the 'Railroaders' must pay attention to Torpedo, the Karpin's team plays without compromises. Furthermore, they will play home with their fans. It'll be e great opportunity for the Torpedo's players to show their best" - said Pimenov to championat.com
