Among the substitutes were Ivan Sergeyev, Ilya Samoshnikov, Matvey Lukin, Maksim Osipenko, and others. The four worst players of the match were selected as follows.
Ivan Oblyakov was given a rating of 3.0. He was supposed to be the main creator in the central zone during the game, but he only helped the Jordanian team.
He had no accurate forward passes. Aleksandr Chernikov was also given 3.0 points.
He lost his position many times in the defensive line and caused disorder on the field. Litvinov and Morozov had to cover his shortcomings.
Chernikov stood out mostly for fouls. Andrey Mostovoy was also rated 3.0.
He committed many fouls, received a yellow card, but showed insufficient activity in pressing and taking shots in the opponent's half. Mostovoy was also sluggish in fulfilling his duties and lost the duel against the opposing player Namat on the flank.
Yuriy Gorshkov was also rated 3.0. He was often left behind by opponents on the left wing.
Namat and Al-Kurayshi moved easily in his area. Gorshkov's positional mistakes led to the first dangerous situation.
Additionally, he lost the ball in his own half and was ineffective in attacks. Overall, the Russian national team did not show enough strength in the match, and dangerous situations were created in front of their goal in the first half.
Some players' shortcomings negatively affected the team's overall play. It is necessary to eliminate these weaknesses in the upcoming matches.
