MOSCOW: A double by Dynamo Moscow forward Alexander Kokorin helped Russia to a 4-1 win against Luxembourg in their 2014 World Cup qualifier in Kazan yesterday.
The result left Fabio Capello’s side with 15 points from seven games in European qualifying Group F and put them a point clear at the top of the section.
“We were deserved winners,” said Kokorin, 22, who rejoined Dynamo from Anzhi Makhachkala last month, only weeks after moving in the opposite direction.
“An early goal helped us a lot and the result gives us confidence ahead of the match with Israel, which we desperately need to win.” AFP
