Russia vs Slovakia Euro 2016 Match Preview:
Russia are rising high up in the air and boozing in confidence after sharing the points with England who have star player like Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane, Rushford and many more. They generated opportunities from the starting of the game but failed to convert those. While, England had their goal in the 10th minute of the game when Eric Dier scored a free kick from 20 yards outside the goal post which just went passing by Igor Akinfeev.
Now, Roy Hodgson’s boys were leading by 1-0. During the game, Russian’s looked off the pace and their aging factor against the England’s vibrant formation of players. In the 78th minute, Wayne Rooney was been replaced by Jack Wilshere , which nearly costed England, when in the second minute of the four extra time after the full 90 minutes of the game, Berezutski scored equalizer for Russia. It has resulted in a big shock for England, who had just taken the lead in the 73rd minutes, and now had to share the points along with Russia.
Slovakia made their first ever appearance at a major European championship and have earlier tasted victory by defeating the best teams in the world like Spain and Italy. And yesterday, against Wales, who also had their first outing in the last 58 years, were heavily relying on Marek Hamsik, who was the top scorer for them during the qualifying stages. Both the sides showed a brilliant piece of display and rose to the expectations of the fans.
The Wales fans in the stands erupted into joy and happiness when Gareth Bale score the first goal of the match in the early 5th minute which went into the nets passing by the goalkeeper who had no chance to stop and was mostly unpredictable about the shot. The goal which was of historical importance in Wales football history also paid off bold decision of Coach Coleman’s line up the Crystal Palace midfielder along with Aaron Ramsey and Bale.
