Dmitri Torbinski and Andrei Arshavin strikes in the extra time ensured that the Russians ended Dutch romance with the European championship which has eluded them from past twenty years.
Arshavin turned to be the assassin again, as he controlled the ball well and even scored the third and final goal. Russians should have sealed the match early on through Torbinski, but he failed to connect and Van Nistelrooy levelled things in the 86th minute.
But the highly energetic Russians were no match to the Dutch and Dmitri Torbinski and Andrei Arshavin ensured Russian glory.
