Win thanks to COVID-19: that's what happened to Krasnodar in Russia

Rotor Volgograd couldn't play their match against Krasnodar and the health and footballing authorities confirmed the 0-3 for the visitors.

Russia is news again in that explosive cocktail that football and COVID-19 make up. After the monstrosity a few months ago between Sochi and Rostov, the match between Rotor and Krasnodar couldn't even be played.

There was a drastic increase in positives in the Volgograd side and the Health Bureau of the city ordered the cancellation of the match after the seven infections in the team.

The decision, merely health based, had to be ratified by the footballing authorities, who didn't hesitate for a moment when making the decision: match cancelled and 3-0 win for Krasnodar.

The match had to be played this very Sunday. Rotor will therefore remain bottom of the Russian League.
