It was played on 2 May 2017 at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi, between Ural Yekaterinburg and Lokomotiv Moscow. Lokomotiv won the game courtesy of goals from Igor Denisov and Aleksei Miranchuk.[1]

Venue[]

The Russian Cup final was held for Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi. The stadium, which holds 40,000 people, was constructed for the 2014 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, where it served as the venue for their opening and closing ceremonies. Following the events, the stadium was remodeled into an open-air football stadium and hosted matches as part of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Background[]

Lokomotiv played their 8th Russian Cup final, second only to CSKA's 11.[2] Prior to the 2017 final, they have won six, against the seven won by their cross town rivals. Their most recent appearance at the final was in 2015, wherein Lokomotiv ran 3-1 winners against Kuban Krasnodar.

As for Ural, it was their first ever appearance at the Russian Cup final. Indeed, their performance in the Russian Cup has been mediocre at best, as their best outing so far has been a Round of 16 appearance in the 2009–10 Russian Cup and 2015–16 Russian Cup.

It was also the first time that the two clubs met in the Russian Cup final.
