Russia were held to a 1-1 draw by Qatar on Tuesday in a game dubbed 'The World Cup Celebration Match' between the countries chosen to host the World Cup in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
Qatar, which surprisingly won the right to host the event despite it being held in the summer months, when temperatures in the Gulf state soar to almost unbearable levels, took the lead in the fourth minute through Mohamed Kasoula.
But 2018 hosts Russia hit back through Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko half an hour later.
The draw continued Russia's run of disappointing results after their goalless Euro 2012 qualifying draw in Armenia last week and recent friendly losses to Iran and Belgium.
