A Tale of Two Strikers

June 18th, 2008 •  Permalink 

A well deserved victory for Russia who weren’t content to sit back on their two goals and attacked right through to fulltime on 93 minutes. In fact they finished the game with 56% of the possession against Sweden’s 44% and had almost twice as many shots on Isaksson’s goal with 22 attempts against Sweden’s 13 and three times as many corners with 12.

It was essentially a tale of both team’s star players. Russia’s Andrei Anshavin got his goal on 50 mins and the Castrol Index shows he didn’t stop running - covering over 1800 metres more than Sweden’s golden boy Ibrahimovic who ran just 8651 metres and who barely got a sniff of the target all night.
