Russia national team had a very successful start of their World Cup campaign after total demolishion of generally unimpressive Saudi Arabia side 5:0. Mad counterattacking strategy worked very well for Stanislav Cherchesov’s men who allowed Saudi Arabia to dominate the midfield but explored most of their mistakes caused by tough physical pressing. Aleksandr Golovin and Denis Cheryshev made a very good impression. Cheryshev's second goal (4th in game) was an absolute eye-candy though. Congrats!
- Russia won their first World Cup game since 2002
- They will face Egypt in Saint-Petersburg at July 19
5:0 is much too much in opening match .I don't even know what Saudi Arabia playing . Russians are luck to play those people in an opening match.
