Russia makes a dream start after smashing down Saudi Arabia 5:0 in opening match of 2018 World Cup
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 2002In the next game Russia will face Egypt in Saint-Petersburg at July 19th
