Russia were beaten 1-0 at home by Slovakia in a Group B Euro 2012
qualifier on Tuesday evening. A bad clearance by goalkeeper Igor
Akinfeev in the 27th minute left Vasily Berezutsky stranded and
Miroslav Stoch took his chance. Russia, who had previously only lost
one European qualifier at home, were unable to find an equalizer,
despite plenty of pressure.
