The reason is the passing of the famous sports commentator and journalist, Vasily Utkin (53), who died suddenly from pulmonary embolism.
Utkin was a great friend of the head coach of the Russian team, Valery Karpin, and there is no doubt that Zbornaya will have a special motive against the Serbian squad because of the death of the commentator who was loved by Russian footballers and fans.
How important Utkin was for football in Russia is seen in the fact that the Russian Football Association decided to start the match against Serbia with a moment's silence in his honor.
