The first half between Finland and Russia was eventful.
A Finnish goal conceded directly in the opening was followed up with goal chances in both directions before Russia took the lead in extra time before the break.
An extra time that was a full six minutes long, when Russia's Mario Fernandes was lying for a long time in the offensive penalty area.
After a nod duel with Finnish Daniel O'Shaughnessy, Fernandes lost his balance in the air and landed badly with his back first.
After medical treatment on the spot, the defender was then carried out on a stretcher and Russia was forced to change.
At the beginning of the second half, TV4's commentator announced that the 30-year-old had been taken to hospital by ambulance. However, the severity of the damage is unclear.
