National team of Russia had a big problems with the squad, because some important footballers were injured. So, the head coach Stanislav Cherchesov chose basic formation. His team had two high-class wingers: Denis Cheryshev from Valencia and Aleksey Miranchuk from Atalanta. Defensive line contained Fedor Kudryashov, who is currently playing in Turkey Super Lig for Antalyaspor.
Game structure until Semenov was sent off
The first step of our analysis is to look at how teams were planning to attack and defend. Let’s begin from Turkey offensive phase. As it usually goes, team, which plays formation, uses defensive structure. The hosts tried to use two schemes in order to break an opponent’s defence. Sometimes they used formation. The aim was to mirror Russian 5-2-3. We can see it on the frame.
When situation on the field was suitable, they tried to use system in order to progress the ball forward by vertical combinations. Team of Russia tried to do a high-pressing movements in these moments. Two Turkish defensive midfielders went down, two fullbacks tried to do a field wider. Sometimes, one of four-man offensive group helped them not to loose the ball in this dangerous zone.
To sum up, let’s look at tactical scheme of Turkish offensive phase.

Now it’s turn to analyze how team of Russia wanted to attack. Turkey used and sometimes formations in defensive phase, that’s why guests tried to use the width of the field. Turkey tried to keep a compactness in order not to allow to ruin their defensive structure.
Game structure after the red card
Russian central defender Andrey Semenov was sent off in 24 minute. It caused a need for the guests to change their game structure. Since this moment, team of Russia used two main formations: and 4-3-2. This change was depending on movements of Cheryshev and Alexey Miranchuk.
National team of Turkey tried to create overloads on the right flank with their attacks. Zeki Celik played an important role in these movements. We can see it on the next frame.
Then Stanislav Cherchesov substituted Cheryshev to Vyacheslav Karavaev, who became the right defender. His team kept on and defensive formations in order to hold out until the pause between the two game halfs.
It would be better to analyze this game phase with the help of next tactical picture.
Team of Russia tried to defend the center in order to let the opponent U-shaped ball moving. Also they tried to create 3vs3 situation in the center of the field.
Second half
Team of Russia tried to use two main formations in defensive phase: and 4-3-2. When they were on the ball, they use or systems. It was depended on a game situation. When the system was used, there was the aim to mirror Turkish defensive 4-4-2. Sometimes the hosts tried to use this scheme in order to create a 4vs4 situation forward and 2 vs 2 situation in the center. It was absolutely safely, because there was a 4vs3 situation on the other side. It was a good tactics.
