Match Info

Host nation Russia opened the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup with a 2-0 victory over New Zealand at the Krestovsky Stadium in Saint Petersburg on June 17. First-half goals from Denis Glushakov and Fyodor Smolov secured a comfortable win for Stanislav Cherchesov's side in the tournament's opening match. The match process saw Russia start brightly, with Glushakov capitalizing on a defensive error to slot home the opener after 20 minutes. Smolov doubled the lead just before the halftime whistle with a fine individual effort, cutting inside and firing low into the corner.

The victory gave the hosts a perfect start in Group A, boosting confidence ahead of tougher fixtures against Portugal and Mexico.
