　　烏克蘭球員安德烈魯索爾在戰勝沙特隊的比賽中，為球隊攻進第一個入球。而他的父親，儘管平時不喜歡打賭，仍然在賽前下了6美元的賭注，他打賭自己的兒子會打進第一個入球，結果，果真被他言中，他因此獲得445美元的回報。

　　KIEV, June 22 (Reuters) - The father of Andriy Rusol, who stroked Ukraine's first goal in their 4-0 World Cup rout of Saudi Arabia, won nearly $445 -- three times the average monthly wage in the ex-Soviet state -- after betting on his son.

　　"I don't really like betting. But an hour before our game with the Saudis I finally decided to go to the bookmakers," Anatoly Rusol told the daily Fakty.

　　"I put 30 hryvnias ($6) on Andriy scoring the first goal. And another 50 hryvnias ($10) that he would score at some point. Excellent! I knew it! I collected 2,250 hryvnias."

　　Rusol scored in the fourth minute of Monday's game, followed by Serhiy Rebrov, Andriy Shevchenko and Maksim Kalinichenko.

　　Ukraine face Tunisia in their last game in Group H on Friday. They need to win to be sure of reaching the last 16 of the World Cup.

　　The daily said Rusol's father lived in Kirovograd, a small town in central Ukraine.

　　Though large cities in Ukraine boast luxurious shopping centres, fancy office buildings and plush restaurants, rural regions lag far behind. At least a third of its 47 million live in poverty 15 years after the collapse of communism.
