After the second match of Euro 2008 semi-final, Spain was booked the ticket to have the chance get to the top after 24 years.
In this match, Spain was created much more opportunity than russia with 19 shots. Fenando Torres wasted quite a lot of chances to bring the ball into the opponent goal. He wasn't the man of the match to bring spain through the challenge although he was tried very hard to score with unnecessary touch sometimes. But Spain still sent Russia home with 3 excellent goals.
Spain started their scoring party after the start of the second half. Just around 5 mins after the half time, Xavi Hernández was make a very excellent finish from his FC Barcelona team-mate, Andrés Iniesta with a very good crossing. Daniel Güiza added another one after 20 mins with a very nice touch finish from a very comfortable overhead cross by Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas did another delivery to David Silva and he completed the module-boosting win for the Sunday's final with Germany, which is prepared to grab their third champion in the history. Injured David Villa was substituted by Fabregas on 34 min of the match. Fabregas really did a great job in second half with 2 very good assists although he is not the man of this match.
Cheers for Spain....
