The defeat of Brazil, the victory of Belarus and the goal of the Portuguese goalkeeper: what will be remembered for the second day of the Beach Soccer World Cup

Unusual head celebrations from the Senegalese

The match between Senegal and Uruguay, which opened the second game day of the World Beach Soccer Championship in Moscow, turned out to be rich in goals scored.

The Africans, who were considered the favorites of the confrontation, conceded first, but in response they hit the opponent's goal six times - 6: 1.

Accordingly, the team had many reasons to celebrate their own goals.

And if the first Africans met quite calmly, then they approached the subsequent ones with imagination.

For example, after the fourth goal, two football players from Lviv Terangi knelt down and depicted just these animals.

And after the final, their partners demonstrated the rowers in an imaginary boat.

Thus, the Senegalese delighted the fans gathered at the stadium with both good play and acting skills.

The best performer in their lineup was 28-year-old striker Raul Mendy.

The forward scored a hat-trick.

Moreover, all his goals turned out to be unlike each other: from the nine-meter mark, a powerful blow to the far nine and a neat shot between the goalkeeper's legs.

Contradictory game of the goalkeeper of Belarusians

And in the confrontation between Belarus and El Salvador, goalkeeper Konstantin Magaletsky became a hero and an anti-hero at the same time.

On the one hand, he made a number of productive mistakes.

On the other hand, at the decisive moment he saved the team and allowed her to score one point.

In the second period, he missed the ball between his legs, launched from a free kick by Eber Antonio Ramos Rivera, and then, after playing another standard position, he allowed the projectile to fly into the near corner, clearly late with the jump.

In the final 12 minutes, the goalkeeper continued to make rough mistakes.

After hitting Jose Ruben Batres Perdomo from close range, he actually ferried the ball on target.

But this was not the end, because for a minute and 36 seconds before the end of overtime, he again missed between the legs and allowed Salvador to escape - 5: 5.

As a result, the fate of the match was decided in the first penalty shootout in the tournament.

It was here that Magaletsky made a fateful save, parrying Jason Urbina Hernandez's shot from the "point".

The fans gathered in the stands will also remember the forward of the Moscow "Spartak" Oleg Gapon.

In general, the meeting turned out to be not easy for the Belarusians, because during the second and third periods they were two goals behind.

But the 24-year-old striker's two brilliant cross-pounds helped push the team into overtime.

Hard victory for the Portuguese

The goalkeeper also came to the fore in the Portugal - Oman match.

For the reigning champions of the planet, the first meeting at the tournament turned out to be unexpectedly difficult.

At the beginning of the second period, they conceded twice and were behind in the score - 2: 3.

At the same time, the opponent turned the course of the meeting in the minority, because shortly before the break, the team captain Khalid Khames Al-Orami received the second yellow card.

However, the favorite quickly pulled himself together and in less than four minutes struck the opponent's goal three times.

And led the attack of the European team twice the best goalkeeper of the planet Elinton Andrade.

The footballer scored two points for performance.

First, he excellently introduced the ball into the game with his hand on Fabio Costa, and then he himself inflicted a powerful shot from the center of the court.

The opponent, who was trying to save the situation, only tweaked the projectile into the net.

On the one hand, such activity of the goalkeeper is surprising, on the other hand, this is normal for beach football.

So, on the eve of the Japanese goalkeeper Yusuke Kawai gave three assists in the match with Paraguay.

The abundance of hat-tricks should not be striking either.

For example, in the reporting confrontation Leonardo Barral Martins scored three times.

And he scored the winning goal from the transfer of his brother Bernardo.

Loud sensation from the Swiss

If the sensation was avoided in the match between Portugal and Oman, then in the meeting between Brazil and Switzerland it was still ripe.

Few doubted that the Latin Americans, the main contenders for gold medals, would win a landslide victory over their opponents.

Moreover, the Alpines in Moscow were not originally supposed to be present at all.

In the quarterfinals of the qualifying tournament, they lost to Ukraine and missed the chance to go to Russia.

However, in the summer, the opponent refused to participate for unsportsmanlike reasons, and Angelo Shirintsi's charges took their place at the last moment.

At first, the last meeting of the game day developed according to a predictable scenario.

Hulk opened the scoring, and Lucao converted a free kick.

Then one of the leaders of the yellow-greens Ze Lucas loudly declared himself.

Three and a half minutes was enough for him to issue a hat-trick.

Moreover, in all cases, the partner was assisted by Datiña.

However, there was a hero in the opponents' roster.

It was 35-year-old Dejan Stankovic, who, together with the national team, won the European Cup back in 2005.

This time, he almost single-handedly allowed his partners to perform a miracle.

The striker scored twice on his own and assisted Philip Borer.

It was his goal 47 seconds before the final siren that allowed the Swiss to escape and transfer the meeting to overtime - 5: 5.

Quite deservedly, Stankovic brought victory to the European team in the penalty shootout. The forward realized his attempt, and then the Alpine goalkeeper parried the opponent's shot from the "point".
