June 14, 2018

Two minutes injury time added as Russia still putting Saudi under pressure.

After 47 minutes of intriguing football, the hosts go into the break with a commendable 2-0 lead over Saudi Arabia.

Russia keep the pressure and they double their lead just before half-time.

Cheryshev pumps the ball into the right corner in the 44th minute to record his first international goal.

What a clean finish coming in from the left.
