Highlights of the second round of matches from Group D with Sweden taking on the highly talented Spaniards, and reigning champions Greece playing Russia.

With both sides winning their opening games, Sweden and Spain have confirmed their status as favourites to advance from Group D but it was Spain who looked most convincing as David Villa netted a hat-trick. Sweden will be confident, however, having already defeated Spain on the way to qualifying for Euro 2008.

Swedish striker Henrik Larsson spent two seasons playing in Spain for Barcelona, winning the La Liga title twice and the 2006 Champions League. He will be hoping to remind the Spanish fans and former club colleagues Xavi, Puyol and Iniesta that, despite being 36 years of age, his incredible footballing instincts remain intact.

The other encounter pits Greece against Russia in a re-run of a group match from the 2004 finals in Portugal. Russia emerged 2-1 winners that day, but it was the Greeks who had the last laugh, eventually going on to lift the trophy while the Russians failed to make it past the group stages.
