Russia have triumphed over Lithuania in its first friendly ahead of the Euro 2016.
The team led by CSKA coach Leonid Slutsky scored three goals.
The scoring was opened by Fyodor Smolov, followed by a goal by novice Alexander Golovin.
The third goal was scored thanks to a header from Denis Glushakov who dedicated it to his mum.
Slutsky used two new goalkeepers – Stanislav Kritsyuk, from Krasnodar, and Guilherme from Lokomotiv Moscow. Brazilian Guilherme was naturalized only recently.
The coach experimented with the lineup in the second half, giving a chance to Artur Yusupov and Ilya Maksimov.
Russia will take on France in its second friendly on Tuesday.
