The start of the first game was favorable for ForlanFS, which with the help of Andriy Shevchenko's technique earned and realized an 11-meter kick.

And if at first Pyatov rescued his partners after the blow of Eusebio, then in a few moments a powerful shot of the famous Portuguese still found a target.

There were a lot of 50-on-50 episodes that I won at the expense of stronger and faster players. In fact, I had very few moments, and I scored everything I created. It is difficult to break the defense when a professional cyber football player plays against you, ”Oleksandr Zinchenko shared his impressions of the confrontation.
