Former Spanish “Celta” player Alexander Mostovoy advised not to place too much emphasis on the friendly match of the Russian national team with the Egyptian Olympic team. He shared his opinion with himself “Soviet sport”.
“He looked sad, monstrous, and insignificant. I’m already confused about who is playing who because of the number of players summoned. If someone had told me before the game that our people will play with the Egyptian Olympic team, I would have said that of course we would win without asking any questions. However, it should not be forgotten that we also did not have a foundation, but in the current situation you cannot even understand where this foundation is. So I can advise everyone not to pay too much attention to this game, ”said Mostovoy.
The match, which took place in Suez, Egypt, ended with a score of 1:1. Bilal Mazhar opened the score right at the beginning of the match. Immediately after the break, Stepan Hovhannisyan evened the score, putting the result of the match on the leaderboard. For Hovhannisyan, this ball was his first match for the national team.
