Russia scored a very late goal to beat Portugal 1-0 in their international friendly on Saturday, a well-deserved win after the hosts had dominated the match from start to finish.
Captain Roman Shirokov was the man to break the deadlock late, slotting a shot past Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio, who had done a phenomenal job keeping his side level up until that point.
Portugal fielded a starting XI missing a number of key contributors, and it showed. The visitors hardly mustered any chances and nearly stole a draw in Russia, but justice was served late.
The hosts fielded a remarkably strong starting XI featuring Alan Dzagoev and Artem Dzyuba, while Portugal gave a handful of youngsters and fringe players the opportunity to impress, with Goncalo Guedes and Nelson Oliveira starting.
