Russian win not enough for coach

RUSSIA coach Oleg Romantsev turned on his players even though they opened their World Cup campaign with victory over Tunisia to climb to the top of Group H.

Both sides had chances to take the lead before Egor Titov pounced on a mistake by goalkeeper Ali Boumnijel to open the scoring in the 59th minute and Valery Karpin added the second five minutes later from the penalty spot.
