In case you missed it, here are the highlights from Friday's Euro 2012 Group A match between Russia and Czech Republic.
The score
The 4-1 victory was a big statement of intent by Russia. They were slow to start, but when the Russians finally came to life they ended up hammering their opponents into submission.
What this result means
After Poland and Greece played out a 1-1 draw in the opening match, the win by the Russians now puts them top of the group with a strong goal difference that will be difficult for the rest to overcome. The loss leaves the Czechs crippled and in need of a big result from their next match to have any hope of moving into the knockout rounds.
