The two teams had met in one previous match, in a friendly in 2013.
After a goalless first half, the two teams traded goals by substitutes in the second half as the match finished 1–1.
First, Han Kook-young passed to Lee Keun-ho, and his long range shot was spilled by Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev into the net.
Russia equalised after Alan Dzagoev's shot was parried by South Korean goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong, the clearance hit Andrey Yeshchenko, and Aleksandr Kerzhakov scored from close range.
