Russia dominated play for the majority of the match against Slovakia, but the Slovakians showed some excellent defending and picked up a surprising 1-0 away win courtesy of a Miroslav Stoch goal.
The goalscorer was, of course, very pleased with his goal and made it clear that Slovakia would have been more than happy to settle for a draw.
"It was a great goal and a great victory. You don't score against Russia every day and you don't win in Russia every day," Stoch was quoted as saying by uefa.com.
"So we are really happy, but there is still a long way to go in our qualifying group. If we had drawn it would have been good for us, but we won, so it is even better."
"We were prepared for Russia as we know how well they can play, but we defended well, and after we went 1-0 up we managed not to concede," emphasised skipper Marek Hamsik.
Slovakia have collected six points from their first two games and sit joint first in the table in group B.
