Next, the Russian team managed to beat Finland thanks to a goal by Alexey Miranchuk and a confident game by Matvey Safonov, who took a place in the goal. During the tournament, the Russian team lost two players at once. Yuri Zhirkov and Mario Fernandez were injured in the matches for the national teams.
