Russia

Igor Akinfeev 4 —

Arguably should have been better placed to handle Suarez’s free kick but seemed completely perplexed as to the direction of Laxalt’s deflected drive. Saved Russia from further ailments by preventing Bentancur’s low finish.

Igor Smolnikov 4 —

Offensively, Smolnikov was important in pushing his side up the pitch, but his ill-decision making lead him to earning two yellows and being sent off before the first half was over.

Ilya Kutepov 5 —

Competitive and aggressive with the two star Uruguayan forwards, never opting to pull out from a challenge, which was a petulant attitude at times.

Sergei Ignashevich 5.5 —

Displayed his experience and intelligent play at times that had him recalled in to the Russian squad despite his retirement from international duty.

Fyodor Kudryashov 5 —

Deputised well enough for Zhirkov, making several interceptions and competing for the ball. Sometimes put his team on the back foot due to some of his passing.
