Russia celebrate victory in Andorra and qualification
Russia took advantage of England's defeat by Croatia by beating Andorra to secure an unexpected place at UEFA EURO 2008™ as Group E runners-up.
Russia's chance seemed to have gone when they lost in Israel on Saturday, but Croatia's Wembley victory opened the door and Guus Hiddink's side forced their way through by the narrowest margin. Dmitri Sychev scored the all-important goal on 39 minutes to secure the points for a Russia team who also missed a penalty and finished the game with ten men following Andrei Arshavin's late dismissal.
