Former coach of Moscow Spartak, Valery Gladilin, said in an interview with socialbites.ca after the friendly match of the Russian national team against the Serbian national team, that the Russian legionnaires performed well in this match.
“The foreign players looked very good, but we don’t have any superstar foreign players except Golovin. Zakharyan and Miranchuk do not always play in their team’s starting 11 and are more of a substitute player. “They showed a high level of preparation and a good game,” said Gladilin.
The match, which took place at the VTB Arena stadium in Moscow, ended with the score of 4-0 for the Russian football players. The goals of the match were scored by Anton Miranchuk, Maxim Osipenko and Alexey Miranchuk, who converted the penalty. In the 88th minute, Arsen Zakharyan sent the fourth ball to the Serbian goal, but the goal was canceled due to Ivan Sergeev being offside. However, already in stoppage time, the author of the scored goal became Sergeev himself.
The Serbian national team was in the minority in the 21st minute after CSKA Moscow defender Milan Gajic was sent off.
