Russia’s Worst Match under Karpiy. The Miracle Series Comes to an End

When it seemed like the Russians had taken control, Chile managed to score a second goal. A sloppy pass from Lukin and an unsuccessful attempt to clear from Beveev allowed substitute Brereton Diaz to score. In the closing minutes, the Russians managed to create several good attacks but were unable to score on that evening. The Russian national team ended their best unbeaten streak in history (23 matches) and only lost for the second time in 30 games under Karpin’s guidance.
