Semi-Final: Russia v Spain
Adrian Chiles presents highlights from the Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna as Guus Hiddink's Russia take on Luis Aragones' Spain at the Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna.
Adrian Chiles is joined by Garth Crooks and Mark Lawrenson for highlights from the Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna as Guus Hiddink's Russia take on Luis Aragones' Spain at the Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna.
Russia have played some of the most attractive football in the tournament so far and in the much-coveted Andrei Arshavin, they possess one of Europe's finest talents. Their brand of passing and moving is modelled on the Dutch style of 'total football' and in the quarter final they swept aside the masters themselves, beating the Netherlands 3-1.
Having already met Russia in the group stages, Spain will be confident of repeating their 4-1 victory over Hiddink's side and their victory over Italy will give them great confidence. British football fans will be familiar with the skills of Cesc Fabregas and Fernando Torres but it has been David Villa and Iker Casillas who have made the headlines so far.
Commentary from Jonathan Pearce and Mark Bright.
