UEFA Euro 2008 Match of the Day - Netherlands v Russia

Logo for UEFA Euro 2008 Match of the Day - Netherlands v Russia

Highlights of the third quarter-final between the Netherlands and Russia from Basel's St Jakob-Park. Dutch footballing legends Marco van Basten and Guus Hiddink go head to head as their talented squads attempt to continue their brands of fast-moving attacking football and reach the semi final of Euro 2008. Having impressively beaten Sweden 2-0 in their final group game, Russia name an unchanged line-up including Andrei Arshavin, the inspirational Zenit St Petersburg playmaker who was suspended for the first two group games - a 4-1 defeat to Spain and a narrow 1-0 win over Greece. The Netherlands, however, contain match-winners in every position and have been in superb form in this championship, beating World Cup winners Italy 3-0, World Cup finalists France 4-1, and then Romania 2-0 with a side largely made up from fringe members of the squad.
