SALZBURG (Reuters) - Highlights of Euro 2008 match between Greece and Russia in Group D on Saturday:

Sports  |  Russia

RESULT - GREECE 0 RUSSIA 1.

90 + 2 ACTION - Pavlyuchenko misses a sitter as Russia break.

87 SUBSTITUTION - Russia bring on defender Vasily Berezutsky for Yuri Zhirkov.

87 ACTION - Haristeas has the ball in the Russia net after a breakaway but the effort is ruled out for offside.

79 SUBSTITUTION - Greece take off Yannis Amanatidis and bring on Stelios Giannakopoulos.

77 YELLOW CARD - Saenko is booked for a foul on Karagounis.

70 SUBSTITUTION - Bilyaletdinov comes off and is replaced by Ivan Saenko.

69 ACTION - Clear chance for Greece as Karagounis swings in a dangerous corner but Haristeas's downward header is comfortably caught by keeper Igor Akinfeyev.

61 SUBSTITUTION - Liberopoulos comes off and Greece send on Fanis Gekas.

58 YELLOW CARD - Greece forward Nikos Liberopoulos gets booked for elbowing.

57 ACTION - Pavlyuchenko's clever backheel gives Bilyatidinov a clear shot at goal but he fires wide.

53 ACTION - Diniyar Bilyaletidinov puts Pavlyuchenko through and he does some nifty work to get past his defender and bear down on goal, but his right-foot shot whistles wide.

HALFTIME. GREECE 0 RUSSIA 1.

42 YELLOW CARD - Karagounis has barely been on the field before he trips Semshov and gets booked.

40 SUBSTITUTION - Greece bring on midfielder Giorgios Karagounis for defender Giourkas Seitaridis.

33 GOAL. GREECE 0 RUSSIA 1 - Sergei Semak keeps the ball in after a long cross from the left and goalkeeper Nikopolidis comes out for it, leaving the net unguarded. Semak's overhead pass finds Konstantin Zyryanov, who knocks the ball home.

20 ACTION - Angelos Basinas's free kick sails into the box and Russia's Igor Semshov is lucky to head it out rather than score an own goal after Greece striker Angelos Haristeas misses the ball completely.

14 ACTION - Russia's Roman Pavlyuchenko curls in a shot which Greece keeper Antonis Nikopolidis tips over the bar.

1 - Greece kick off
