Peruvian striker Jefferson Farfan has become a decisive player in FC Lokomotiv after having scored one goal against CSKA Moscow, which contributed to a final score (3-1) on Friday.

Following a corner kick, the Peruvian star opened the score in the 23rd minute.

However, a drawing goal was made by Vitinho three minutes before the first half came to an end.

FC Lokomotiv went back on track during the second half. Thus, Ari and Dmiri Tarasov scored the winning goals for the team.

Thanks to the victory, FC Lokomotiv leads the Russian league ranking (6 points).

Following the extraordinary performance, Farfan's chances of joining Peru's national squad are reborn.

Last June, the Russian team announced the extension of the striker's contract for the 2017/18 season.
