The national teams of Russia and Iran in the face-to-face confrontation on September 25 identified the winner of the Caspian Cup. Our team defeated 12-time Asian champions with a score of 9-3 and won the trophy.
Both teams missed the leaders for the decisive match. Due to damage from Russia, captain Sergei Abramov was unable to speak, Danil Davydov took on his role. In Iran, the yellow card exhaustion struck out from the protocol of Hossein Tayebi. It can also be noted that the place at the gate Sergey Skorovich entrusted to Dmitry Putilov: each of the three guards of the gates of our team received a game practice in Astrakhan.
Already in the debut attack, after a rebound from an Iranian, the ball rolled onto Rishat Kotlyarov’s leg – he scored his first goal for the national team. Quickly enough, the initiative was supported by Davydov, he succeeded in a sharp blow to the far corner from the flank. And in the 9th minute, Romulo broke through the flank and assisted Asadov. Luck accompanied our squad – in the 15th minute, a rebound from the opponent helped Ruslan Kudzieva score.
Iran immediately released the fifth field and scored from the first attempt, but there was no further development. The hosts could increase the lead, but the ball, launched into an empty target, hit the crossbar.
The Persians began the second half with five field goals – the rally did not work, and Antoshkin and Niyazov from different positions successfully hit the empty net. At the 29th minute after the corner, Asadov scored, and at the 35th classy lateral pass from the depths of Antoshkin, Milovanov took advantage.
Oruji and Azimi reduced the gap, but the last goal was on the account of our team. A series of bounces helped push the ball into the net to Ivan Milovanov.
The result is 9-3, the Russian team won the “Caspian Cup” and took revenge from Iran for the defeat in a similar match of the “Four Nations Tournament” in December 2017.
