The Burkina Faso coach explained the reasons for the defeat against Russia

 The coach of the Burkina Faso national team, Amir Abdou, commented on his team's defeat in a friendly match against the Russian national team (0:3). "Unfortunately, we lost two goals very quickly. The Russian national team punished us quite quickly. The eighth number, I think Nail Umyarov, a player from Moscow's Spartak, performed very well. After that there was a foul and a red card. And playing with ten players against such a good team as the Russian national team is very difficult, still more than halfway. That's why this result," Abdou said. He also noted that his players were professionals and they had no problems with the cheering of the fans who supported their rivals. "There was a good shot in the second half, but unfortunately we couldn't score. And right after that we conceded with a quick attack," the coach added.
