Russian Championship lives second stage

Buru?s Strogino edged Lokomotiv Moscow in the first, and Samara hosts the new one, with eight teams willing for the Superfinal

The second stage of the amazingly competitive Russian Championships takes off this afternoon in Samara. Lokomotiv Moscow, with the core of the Russian National team boosted with top Portuguese stars Madjer and Alan will open this second leg by the Volga with their mind on trying to revenge the defeat to Strogino, powered with Brazilians Buru, Bruno and Jorginho, in the first stage of the competition, played in Moscow from June 8^th to 12^th.

In this second leg of the Russian Beach Soccer Championship (June 22^nd-26^th), hosts Krylia Sovetov emerge as one of the menaces for both Muscovite sides. With players such as Fernando (Brazil) or Pampero (Uruguay), the Samaran squad can cause an upset to favourites. Besides a bunch of amazing matches, this second stage will decide which teams get into the Superfinal, kept aside for the best six ranked teams after these two stops.
