Artem Dziuba stood beside the Russian national team as they celebrated a historic performance against Grenada. A commemorative T-shirt honoring the record-setting feat was handed to him after the match. He shared the moment with his family, posing for photos while the shirt bore the inscription that marked a milestone for the national team.
Together with his relatives, Dziuba appeared in photographs with the commemorative shirt, a tangible reminder of the record he helped set. The family gathered near the pitch as memories were captured, and the atmosphere reflected pride in a night that would be remembered for years to come.
The game against Grenada at VTB Arena in Moscow ended in a 5-0 victory for Russia. Danil Prutsev opened the scoring in the 16th minute. Arsen Adamov added a second in the 42nd, and Artem Dziuba found the net in the 43rd minute. That goal brought Dziuba to 31 for the national team, eclipsing the previous mark held by Alexander Kerzhakov as the scoreboard continued to climb and the crowd roared for more goals that followed later in the match.
Grenada sits 174th in FIFA rankings, a position that underscored the challenge Russia faced on the night. During this international window, the Russians are scheduled to play another friendly against Zambia on March 25, again at VTB Arena, a fixture aimed at sustaining the team’s momentum and evaluating depth across positions.
Previously, Dmitry Guberiev publicly congratulated Dziuba on achieving the national-record tally, recognizing the milestone as a testament to his consistency and contribution to the team’s attack. The moment added to a narrative of forward progress and ongoing preparation for forthcoming fixtures.
