Another surprise was to come this evening in the match between Netherlands and Russia. The good displays of the Dutch team from the group games were stopped by a confident team guided by a great coach. Gus Hiddink, which is a Dutch himself, had to send home his national football team.

Russia dominated the game from the begging and opened the score in the 56′ with a great execution of Pavlyuchenko. The scored was leveled by Ruud van Nistelrooy in 86′. Check the video below to see its header.

The match was decided in the extra time, when Tobinski and Arshavin have sealed the score. The final result showed Netherlands 1 - 3 Russia. The Oranje has been sent home, by a team with less experience in European competitions but with a great coach.

Russia is the new revelation at Euro 2008. I hope they will meet Turkey in the final, because they showed an astonishing performance in the match against Croatia.
