Christian named man of the match in Krasnodar victory

Brazilian midfielder Christian, formerly of Cruzeiro, was named man of the match following Krasnodar’s 1-0 victory over Dinamo-Dagestan. This marks the second time the 25-year-old has received the award since joining the Russian club in July.

Christian has recorded two goals and one assist in seven official appearances for Krasnodar, a team currently leading the Russian Championship with 15 points. His transfer from Cruzeiro to Krasnodar was valued at 10 million euros, representing a significant profit for the Brazilian club, which had previously acquired him from Athletico-PR.
