For the first time since 2021, Russia played a match against a European opponent and defeated them, and it couldn’t have been more emphatic. The VTB Arena in Moscow witnessed a cat-and-mouse game, as the spirited Russia completely outclassed Serbia, the opponent of Slovenia at Euro 2024. “Piksi like Napoleon in Russia,” Serbian media vividly expressed after the eagles suffered a heavy 0:4 defeat.
The hosts took the lead at the modern stadium, home to Moscow‘s Dynamo, in the 21st minute when Anton Mirančuk converted a penalty into a goal. Just before that, Milan Gajić of Serbia received a red card, and with one man down, Serbia simply couldn’t match Russia.
The home team scored their second goal in the 32nd minute, with Maksim Osipenko finding the net, and in the second half, Aleksej Mirančuk and Ivan Sergejev also got on the scoresheet. Dragan Stojković – Piksi, the coach of Serbia, suffered his worst defeat since taking charge of the eagles.
