Russia 0 Spain 3 Highlights

June 27, 2008 | Filed Under: Highlights 

Spain swept aside Russia to reach the final of Euro 2008 where they will face Germany on Sunday evening.

Spain demolished a Russia side that didn’t look half the team which played the Netherlands off the park last Saturday. Spain found a breakthrough early in the second half and two further goals sealed a comfortable victory. The result means Luis Aragones’ side scored seven goals against the Russians in two meetings.

0 - 1 Xavi Hernandez (50 minutes)

Barcelona midfielder Xavi broke the deadlock five minutes into the second half when he turned in a cross from club team mate Andres Iniesta.

0 - 2 Dani Guiza (73 minutes)

Guiza struck his second of the tournament when he lifted a Cesc Fabregas pass over CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev.

0 - 3 David Silva (82 minutes)

Arsenal midfielder Fabregas was the catalyst behind the third goal when he set up Silva for the third with eight minutes remaining.
