Russian football team with a minimum score of Austria gave way to the exit. The only goal on 73 minutes spent striker Rubin Rafael Okotie owners. Wards Fabio Capello suffered their first defeat in the UEFA EURO 2016 and has three consecutive victories do not know.
The start whistle the referee Martin Atkinson British-sounding trill stopped reverberating rumble of the Viennese scene of “Ernst Happel” . Paused for a moment 50 thousand spectators in a loud roar greeted the event. Ahead of fans waited 90 minutes fateful duel between Austria and Russia.
Maybe with pathos in the first paragraph of post-match report, we are a little overdone, but the main essence transferred correctly. The match with the Austrians did become decisive for the Russians, and not only in terms of standings, although this factor was very important.
On the game came face major domestic football – Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko and RFU President Nikolai Tolstoy. It was rumored that they had arrived in Vienna do not just look beautiful football. Fabio Capello for several months did not receive a salary, but that it is rumored to be able to retire in case of defeat of Austria. A positive outcome could also have a positive impact on the issue of payments to Italian.
But even without court intrigues match was incredibly important for the Russian team. After misfires in fights with the Swedes and the Moldovan national squad could not be let to lead a group of Austrians in the lead. A little later, his game was conducted Montenegro and Sweden, ready to overtake the Russians.
Simply put, Austria before the game on “Ernst Happel” had seven points in the asset, Russia – five in Sweden – also five, and in Montenegro – four. Lineup Russians not harbored any surprises. Is that returned to base Roman Shirokov, but it was to be expected, especially after Spartak appeared with Capello at the pre-match press conference. As a bonus, Shirokov was the captain’s armband.
Otherwise, everything was humdrum. Trio Akinfeev – Ignashevich – Vasili Berezutski – firmly. On the flanks of the defense settled Dmitry Kombarov and Sergei Parshivlyuk. In the center of the field besides Shirokov played Denis Glushakov and Victor Fayzulin. Wings of attacks were presented Oleg Shatov and Denis Cherysheva. The Edge of the attack habitually placed Alexander Kokorin.
As part of the Austrians, as you know, was not injured defender of “Bavaria” David Alaba, and before the starting whistle hosts overtook another loss: Tensile got Julian Baumgartlinger.
The first half turned to the Russians rather ambiguous. Start the game came out a double-edged, but Capello’s wards in these minutes were noted only a yellow card. Hlushakou received a second “yellow card” in the selection and will not play in March next year with Montenegro.
Later Russian cleaned Initiative to hands and quite calm prevailed in the opponent’s half of the field. The most dangerous moment for a goal had Kokorin: Dinamo unexpected shot from outside the area took over the bar.
The Austrians responded unpleasant kontrvypadami who often walked through the flank Kombarova. A couple of times in the game had to enter Akinfeev, who acted in accordance with the best goalie equipment. In general, it was evident that nothing terrible Austria is not represented, but needed a goal.
This is an important goal at the end of the first half could have scored Ignashevich, but his header after the keeper Korner reflected on a pair with the defender, on duty at the top of the bar.
At the beginning of the second half, the visitors had another dangerous moment. Kokorin tricky Paz brought Cherysheva to rendezvous with the goalkeeper, but Denis cannoned with a bang and at the last moment gave rob themselves defenders. Within minutes, Denis was replaced by Alexei Ionov.
Open the game continued. Another good chance ruined Kokorin who sighted head clipped the ball into the far corner after a cross Kombarova but was slightly inaccurate.
At this pleasant emotions for domestic fans over. Half an hour before the end of the game the Austrians seized the initiative. The Russians also clearly run out of power and emotion. Attack hosts were becoming dangerous, and the defenders had to pluck them periodically using a rules violation.
This is the episode proved a harbinger of trouble. Parshivlyuk fouls on opponents near his own penalty area, and the Austrians were entitled to a very dangerous “standard”, after the Rubin Rafael Okotie is from the far post seemed pushed the ball into the goal. But the judge found that the “shell” not crossed the line.
Unfortunately, a minute later the Austrians scored by all the rules. Goalkeeper Almer quickly passed the ball to someone else’s half of the field, the home team in a couple of discounts passed the entire defense of Russians. Martin Harnik made a measured pass to cross from the flank, but still the same Okotie hammer the “sphere” in the grid.
save the game Capello released Artem Dziuba and Alan Dzagoev, but they do not were able to make a miracle. The Russians tried at the last minute to organize some semblance of the strike, but at the gate of the Austrians had not flashed. Team Russia loses points in the third qualifying round match in a row.
What happens next is uncertain. Prospects for domestic squads vague in all senses. Wards Capello on the results of the tour will certainly lose its second place in the group, but only by one point from the Russians now lags … Liechtenstein, who unexpectedly beat away Moldavia.
