Safonov shared his emotions after the match between the national teams of Russia and Nicaragua

Goalkeeper of the Russian national football team Matvey Safonov commented on the match against the national team of Nicaragua on March 27, saying that the opponent showed a good game.

"I can't say that there was a lot of information about the opponent. They gave us a surprise. It took a while to figure out how the opponent was playing. It is clear that they fought and showed a good game," Safonov quotes the "Sport-Express" as saying.

In addition, the athlete told about the missed ball during the match. According to him, Oscar Acevedo's blow was very difficult.

"The national team has very specific balls — unusual for European championships. It's hard to predict the trajectory. The opponent got a good shot," said the player.
