RUSSIA AND NORWAY SHARE THE SPOIL IN A FRIENDLY

Anders Konradsen's late goal saw Russia held to a 1-1 draw by Norway in their penultimate World Cup warm-up game in Oslo on Saturday.
Konradsen's 77th-minute header from Morten Gamst Pedersen's cross cancelled out Oleg Shatov's opener for Russia in the third minute.
Russia could have scored more if not for Norway defender Vegard Forren, who twice cleared off the line with goalkeeper Rune Jarstein beaten.
The draw continued the low-key World Cup preparation by Fabio Capello's Russia team, who beat Slovakia 1-0 in a friendly on Monday and take on Morocco in Moscow on Thursday in their final game before departing for Brazil.
Playing at the World Cup for the first time in 12 years, Russia will take on South Korea, Belgium and Algeria in Group H.
