England have not been able to win the opening game of a major tournament since FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany.
Roy Hodgson’s men were minutes away from changing that last night but then Russia made sure that the record remains in tact by scoring a late equalizer.
The Three Lions had more than a few decent chances to open the scoring in the first half but wasted them.
In the end, Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier gave them the lead with a brilliant free kick goal in the 73rd minute. However, the England defense could not hold on and Berezutski leveled the tie in injury time.
The highlights of the game are provided below.
