It was a good decision to watch today's encounter. There has been more to be seen on the pitch than in most of the other games. Russia had more of the game and were superior. Their manager will certainly be the happier of the two managers. It's obvious that defence had the highest priority for the home side. The away team made a lot of passes and attempted to maintain possession. |
