Euro 2008 News :: Euro 2008 : Spain slice past Russia 3-0

Posted on 2008-06-27 by Gooner

Second-half goals from Xavi Hernandez, Daniel Guiza and David Silva sent Spain through to a UEFA EURO 2008 final with Germany as Luis Aragones's men proved too strong for Russia in Vienna.

Russia looked the team to beat as they scythed through the Netherlands in the last eight.

But with thunderstorms lighting the sky above the Ernst-Happel-Stadion they struggled to get to grips with the occasion, and never looked like recovering after Xavi broke the deadlock five minutes after half-time, steering Andrés Iniesta's fine left-wing cross past Igor Akinfeev.

Guiza added another with 17 minutes remaining before Silva completed a morale-boosting win for Spain ahead of Sunday's final, their first since 1984.
