Although the Saudi team had a fair share of ball possession, but they struggled to take control of their defence.

Denis Cheryshev, who came in for injured Alan Dzagoev, got by the defense with his trickery and had the keeper at his mercy as he force the second goal in with a powerful kick in the 43rd minute.

Artem Dzyuba, with his head, got the third goal into Saudi net He was marked by just one man and muscled his way clear for the easy header. Like Cheryshev with the second goal, Dzyuba was a substitute.

Denis Cheryshev got his second goal, turning and firing into the top of the net. Sometimes a 4-0 score flatters the winners. Not this time. Saudi Arabia was terrible.
