Arshavin then gave another dazzling performance as he turned and shot low into the corner after receiving a throw-in.

His effort took a deflection of Andre Ooijer before going through Edwin van der Sar's legs.

Both teams came out attacking but Hiddink's men seemed to settle down first with Yuri Zhirkov's free kick and forward Roman Pavlyuchenko's header both threatening a goal in opening minutes.

Russia's Den Kolodin tested the nerves of van de Sar by two consecutive spectacular long range drives from about 30 meters away.

The Netherlands missed probably the best chance of the first half in the 29th minute when Rafael van der Vaart's calculated free kick whistled into the box.

With Ruud van Nistelrooy at the far post ready to tap in, the ball instead went past his outstretched foot and straight behind for a goal-kick.
