Another Penalty Shoot-out Defeat after 1-1 Draw

Russian Railways Cup
By Since66 August 2 2008
Albeit that it was a friendly match it is still a disappointment to lose a match on a penalty shoot-out so soon after losing the 'BIG' one in the same city a couple of months ago. Now instead of playing Sevilla on Sunday in the final of the Russian Railways Cup, who beat AC Milan 1-0 courtesy of a Gattuso own goal, we play AC instead for a 3rd place finish. The match kicks-off 11am UK time.

Lokomotiv it proved were the fitter team - after all they are mid-way throught their domestic season and Chelsea are just starting.

Chelsea took the lead in the 27th minute with a Michael Essien thunderbolt from the edge of the area.

 Essien

Chelsea created chances to seal the game way before Lokomotiv equalised five minutes before time.

Personally I thought the wall was poorly formed and Cech was slow to move towards the shot as it was taken - the ball ended up in the net after deflecting of the post.

Cech made amends to a degree when he saved the first Lokomotiv penalty but didn't have too much chance with all the other Russian spot-kicks.

Bridgey

Lampard, Deco, SWP and Essien were successful in their spot-kicks but it was Wayne Bridge and finally Andriy Shevchenko who missed theirs and the Russian's won 5-4.

Oh to win a shoot-out competition - wouldn't that be nice?

Sheva

Still despite the outcome, the game proved to be a worthwhile exerciseas will playing AC Milan tomorrow.

Our fitness levels are rising, our competitiveness is sharpening and everything is boding well for the season's opener against the Pompey chime boys at Stamford Bridge on Sunday 17th August.

The game kicks-off at 1.30pm UK time.
