Greece vs Russia

Striker Dmitry Kirichenko (centre) celebrates after putting Russia ahead in the Euro 2004 Group A match against Greece at the Algarve Stadium in Faro, Portugal, on Sunday night.

The Russians stunned the Greeks with the fastest goal in European Championship finals history when Kirichenko scored after just over a minute's play.

An inspired Russia beat Greece 2-1 but the victory came too late to save them from elimination, while Greece qualified for the quarter-finals.
