Finland v Russia Live Commentary, Jun 16, 2021

Russia were no match for the world’s number-one ranked team as they fell to a 3-0 loss against Roberto Martinez’s well-drilled and creative Belgium side. The three-goal deficit means they are bottom of Group B and also stretched their winless European Championship run to six games. Reassuringly for Stanislav Cherchesov’s men, however, they have never lost four in a row in this competition and they have also claimed four wins from four encounters with today’s opponents.

Football understandably took a backseat in Finland’s 1-0 win over Denmark on Saturday, with the concern over Christian Eriksen’s health taking priority.
