In the match of the fifth day of the group stage of the League of Nations, Division B, the Turkish team faced Russia, which at that time did not know the defeat in the current draw of the tournament.

Already in the 11th minute Denis Cheryshev put the Russians ahead, but soon after Andrei Semenov decided to help the opposing team and took a direct red card for a last resort foul.

Left in the minority, Stanislav Cherchesov’s sentinels conceded two goals in six minutes and, after the break, Chenk Tosun converted a penalty in the 52nd minute and increased the Turkish team’s lead on the scoreboard. Despite the fact that Daler Kuzyaev quickly managed to play a goal, this was not enough for the Russian team to avoid defeat.

Thus, even today Hungary can lead the standings instead of the Russians, if at home they manage to defeat the Serbian team, which scored only two points in four rounds of the Nations League and occupies the last row.
