June 19, 2008 | Filed Under: Highlights 

Russia pulled off a surprise victory against Sweden to reach the quarter final stage at their expense.

Russia were a class apart against Sweden and could have scored far more than the two goals registered on the night. A goal in each half from Roman Pavlyuchenko and Andrei Arshavin sent Guus Hiddink’s side through to the last eight.

1 - 0 Roman Pavlyuchenko (24 minutes)

Aleksandr Anyukov set up Spartak Moscow striker Roman Pavlyuchenko for a close-range finish.

2 - 0 Andrei Arshavin (50 minutes)

Arshavin began and finished a sweeping move to slide in a pass from CSKA Moscow midfielder Yuri Zhirkov five minutes into the second half.

Pavlyuchenko hits the crossbar 10 minutes before half time.
