Last night, Anatoliy Trubin earned another cap for Ukraine in their 5-3 victory over Iceland. As the starting goalkeeper, the number 1 of Benfica was involved in an unusual moment, being caught out in the photo following the host team's first goal. However, some do not blame him for it.
At the end of the match, on Icelandic soil, Ukraine's coach was quick to absolve the Benfica goalkeeper of blame, stating that these are situations that happen in football: "Trubin's mistake? I don't think Trubin is at fault".
Next, Rebrov analyzed the play in question, which led to Iceland's goal, and explained that it was a play that should have been handled differently by the team: "We just needed to clear the ball. We were in a situation with ten players".
After explaining that the problem was in the team's approach to the Icelandic play, Rebrov reiterated that Trubin was innocent in the occurrence of the opponent's first goal: "We just needed to clear the ball. I don't think he relaxed at all".
Another incident that marked the game's history was the injury suffered by Georgiy Sudakov. Benfica's number 10 left during the first half, clutching his left shoulder. Due to this situation, there are some doubts regarding his availability when he returns from the international break.
