For the first time, the world’s most popular sporting event heads to Russia and the hosts got their campaign off to the perfect start via a stunning 5-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
Two goals by substitute Denis Cheryshev, including an incredible stunner, as well as an outstanding performance from young star Aleksandr Golovin headlined the massive victory.
The job was done, and the hosts grabbed three valuable points at the biggest football’s showpiece for the first time since 2002. Two assists and a goal for rising star Golovin – an undoubted one to watch as this tournament progresses – and the perfect start to a World Cup on home soil.
