Decent chance for Russia. Aleksandr Anyukov delivers a dangerous cross from the right and an unmarked Andrei Arshavin glances his header wide. Poor effort really.

Igor Semshov is played in down the right, he squares to Aleksandr Anyukov who sets up Roman Pavlyuchenko for the finish. A deserved lead for the Russians, which means they will go through as it stands.

Another thrilling, free-flowing move begins with Andrei Arshavin finding Yuri Zhirkov’s rampaging run down the left and Arshavin makes sure he is in the box to slot home the return.
