After many days, today was a day without riding. My motorbike was resting and so was I. Our plan with Dima was to have a breakfast, deliver something to laboratory and to pick up 2 Mexicans, who will also join us, at the football match and in our apartment.

On a quick city tour we saw
The Palm Tree of Mertsalov. It is a replica of famous “Palm of Mertsalov” which has become a symbol of Donbass (depicted on the coat of arms of
Donetsk oblast). Filigree sculpture in the form of a palm tree, forged from one steel rail at the end of the 19th century by
Donetsk blacksmith A. Mertsalov. At the moment the original is kept in
Russia,
Saint-Petersburg.

| A huge monument to Lenin in the central square. |
 |
| Mexico1, Mexico2, Tuši and Dima. As usual, I'm very good with names. |
 |
| I thought more people will come. Especially French fans disappointed me. |
 |
| Before the whistle some running on the field. |
The match began and after 19 minutes it was 1:0 for La Furia Roja.
Xabi Alonso was the scorer.
The match itself was quite boring, since only the
Spain was trying to play and
France was more or less lost on the
pitch.
In the end it was 2:0 for La Furia Roja. 2nd goal was also scored by
Xabi Alonso, this time from the penalty spot. You can read more about the match on this
UEFA link.
