The Russian team defeated Cameroon this Thursday (1-0) in a friendly match played at the Dinamo Moscow stadium in the presence of the legendary former striker and current president of the African country’s football federation, Samuel Eto’o.
The only goal of the match was scored in the 40th minute of the first half by the CSKA Moscow striker. Fyodor Chalov.
Cameroon is the first major rival the team faces directed by Valeri Karpin because it was excluded from international competitions due to the war in Ukraine.
The ‘indomitable lion’ controlled the first half hour of the match, but then collapsed after missing some clear scoring opportunities.
The Russian goalkeeper, key
Russia’s best player is their goalkeeper, Sazonov, who made some creditable saves against African forwards.
The second half was almost completely dominated by the Slavic team, which since its exclusion has faced lower-level teams such as Iran, Iraq and Qatar.
