The European Championship 2020 continues. The second round of the group stage begins. The Russian national team will try to rehabilitate itself in front of their fans. They are playing against Finland. It is interesting that the Finns were able to sensationally outplay the “bloodless” Denmark. Together with Belgium, they share the 1st and 2nd place. Russia has chances, but only if they stop being extras and start playing football.

Match review of the 2nd round of Euro2020: Finland - Russia

Euro2020 first half review: Finland - Russia
Russia did not start out as masters. Already at 3 minutes of the meeting, the Finns score. The arbiter decided to seek help from the VAR. Yes, after watching TV, the goal was canceled. The Finnish national team player was out of the game. It is worth noting that in this match Safonov turned out to be in the goal of the Russian national team.
The Russians were able to organize a relative danger at the gates of the Finns only at 10 minutes. Ozdoev shot past the gate. At the 13th minute, Dziuba receives the ball. He stopped, looked at the referee, but he did not whistle. Artem punches. The Finnish collar also remained standing. Dziuba hits the post. And here the linear raised the flag. That is, it was necessary to break through so that the referees decided to whistle out of the game !!!
On the one hand, the Russians tried to attack. But aggression did not lead to dangerous moments. On the 22nd minute, the Finnish national team player Kamara gets yellow. On the 25th minute, Cherchesov was forced to shoot Fernandez, who landed unsuccessfully and was injured. Karavaev came out instead.
At the 27th minute, Barinov already received a yellow card. Diveev remains and the Finns get the opportunity to carry out a cool attack. True, they did not use their chance. On the 30th minute Dziuba tried to break through. Finland's defense blocks the blow. On the 31st, Diveev strikes with his head much higher than the gate. Like airplanes!
On the 34th minute, Ozdoev gets yellow. He simply could not keep up with his opponent. On the 36th minute, the same Ozdoev already hits his head. Again the ball flies past the goal.
On the 37th minute Kuzyaev shoots magnificently. Karavaev, as usual, does not get to the ball. I also crashed into the barbell. To be honest, the Finns are not playing better. They couldn't even take the ball. In the 40th minute, Barinov hits Pukki in the face. The arbitrator took pity on the Russian.
Due to 2 two long stops, the referee adds 6 minutes to the first half. On 45 + 2 minutes, Oleksiy Miranchuk scores. It was the first shot on target and immediately a goal. Russia took the lead. At 45 + 5 minutes already Dziuba shoots on target, but right into the hands of the goalkeeper. Yes, in the second half of the first half, the Russian national team had an initiative that they were able to implement. The teams left for the break when the score was 0 - 1, in favor of Russia
Review of the second half of the match Euro2020: Finland - Russia
Russia started the half in the same way as the first. And the Finns decided to repeat the script. On the 50th minute, Pukki punched, but Diveev put his foot in and the forward could not deliver an accurate shot. On the 52nd already Golovin breaks through next to the counter.
Instantly, at 53 minutes, Pukki hits the target. Safonov in the fall takes the ball into his hands. Gradually the Finns began to level the game. They created moments. True, the matter did not reach a real threat. On 66 minutes Zhemaletdinov shoots wide of the goal.
On 72 minutes Kuzyaev stops and handles the ball in the Finnish penalty area. Aims and punches. But alas, Hradetsky could not be outplayed. This is despite the fact that Russia gradually began to sit lower and play defensively.
From about the 70th minute, Finland took possession of the territorial advantage. The Russians could not tear themselves away from their penalty area. Gradually, the game was reduced to throws into the line of attack and removal from the penalty area.
At the 85th minute, Cherchesov removes Dziuba. It turns out that the team will play strictly on the retreat. We need to forget about the attack. But still, on the 87th minute Karavaeva gave up to Zobnin. The latter punches well above the gate.
On the 89th minute, after serving from a corner and a couple of passes with his head, Arayuri breaks above the gate. The arbiter added 5 minutes. At 90 + 3 minutes, Zhemaletdinov from a lethal position breaks higher. At the very end, Russia was simply trying to maintain a minimal advantage. The result of the Euro2020 match Finland - Russia: 0 - 1.
Yes, the Russian team won. Earned 3 points. But the quality of the game still left an unpleasant aftertaste. The impression is twofold. With Denmark, such a game can only bring disappointment.
