    I'm surprised that this hasn't had a mention.

    Rostov had a Covid outbreak, with six players ill and the rest of the first team quarantined. Under Russian FA rules, both teams have to agree to a postponement in case of illness. The Russian FA strongly advised this, even offering a new date, but Sochi, who are fighting relegation, refused (the only team to have done so when asked).

    Rostov fielded their youth team, mostly aged 16 and 17. Sochi fielded a team of misters, including some washed up former internationals. Sochi won 10-1, but now everyone thinks that they are a bunch of complete cnuts.

    The tennis tour organised by Novak Djokovic has been a disaster as well. Himself, Troicki, Dimitrov and Coric have all tested positive and the event was cancelled just before the second final.

    The 17-year-old keeper made about 15 saves, and kept out an (admittedly) very soft penalty. What a guy.

    The penalty wasn't that soft. Slightly lacking in power, but extremely well placed. It was still an excellent save. Take a bow, young man.
