The World Cup-2018 was already remembered by several unusual achievements and records.

Nevertheless, this Mundial has a negative side too. The world championship, which takes place in Russia, has broken the record on own goals, which has held since 1998.

In the match of the third round of the group stage between the teams of Switzerland and Costa Rica, Swiss goalkeeper Jann Sommer scored the seventh goal in his own net at the 2018 World Cup. He became the third goalkeeper in the history of the World Championships, which was noted by an own goal. The incident occurred already in extra time to the main time. Earlier, Aziz Bukhaduz (Morocco), Ogenecaro Etobe (Nigerian national team), Tiago Sionek (Poland), Ahmed Fathi (Egyptian national team), Denis Cheryshev (Russian national team) and Jann Sommer (Switzerland) were forced to rejoice with their goals..

In addition, previously have already set a record number of penalties.

The reasons for this were the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine and Syria, the poisoning of the Russian ex-intelligence agent Sergey Skripal in Britain, the starvation of Ukrainian political prisoners, including the director Oleg Sentsov, and the systematic violation of human rights in the Russian Federation.

Unlimited hunger strike Sentsov announced May 14, 2018. His main demand is the release of more than 60 Ukrainian political prisoners who are behind bars in Russia. This requirement of the director was supported by the US State Department, the EU, the Canadian Parliament and.

2015 Russian court illegally sentenced Sentsov to 20 years in a strict-regime colony. The actions in support of the director were held all over the world, including in Russia.
