Russia vs. Portugal live stream: Watch Confederations Cup online
By Adam Stocker
Russia face Portugal at Spartak Arena on Wednesday, June 21. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Russia started the Confederations Cup with a 2-0 win against New Zealand. Portugal drew with Mexico in their first game of the tournament after Hector Moreno scored a late goal to tie the game. The two teams meet in Moscow on Wednesday, when Russia can advance to the next round of the tournament with a win.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been heavily rumored to be leaving Real Madrid this summer but the Portuguese captain is the key to European champions advancing to the next round. The Russian team will likely set up their defense around stopping Ronaldo. Portugal will need another player to step up and assist Ronaldo if they’re going to pick up all three points.
Offensively, Russia benefited from an own goal from New Zealand in the first game. Fedor Smolov scored in the second half to seal the win for the host nation. Expect the Russian team to continue to implement their highly defensive system against Portugal. Against New Zealand, Russian manager Stanislav Cherchesov gave his side a little more freedom than norman, but Portugal should provide a much sterner test.
