Former head coach of the Russian national team Boris Ignatiev spoke about the effectiveness of the friendly match against Cuba. In his comment to socialbites.ca, he stated that every goal scored was a success.
“Of course, we need to congratulate everyone individually, this is truly a success. Every player always tries to stand out in some way. In sports, especially football, this is a goal scored into someone else’s goal. His ability to score goals is commendable, so it is probably worth noting that the players tried, wanted to score goals and succeeded. “A goal scored into someone else’s goal is the very goal that people play for, fans come to the stands and support the players who score goals,” says Ignatiev.
The match played between the Russian and Cuban national teams on November 20 ended with the Russian team winning 8-0. The goals were scored by Ivan Oblyakov, Alexander Golovin, Anton Miranchuk, Alexander Silyanov, Alexander Sobolev, Danil Prutsev, Nikita Krivtsov and Andrey Mostovoy. For the first time in the history of the Russian national team, eight different players scored eight goals in one match. The previous success was achieved in 1978, when the USSR national team defeated Finland 10:2; At that time, seven different football players stood out in the Soviet team. This record was repeated in 1995 when Russia defeated San Marino 7-0.
