Russia 0 Greece 0

First Published: Aug 15, 2001

Russia and Greece could not find a goal in Moscow.

Substitute Alexei Alenichev fluffed the best chance of the game when he snatched at a cross in the second half as the friendly lived down to expectations.

Russia have dominated their World Cup qualifying group and are well placed to qualify for the finals next summer but showed little of their best form with coach Oleg Romantsev replacing experienced internationals Nikiforov, Smertin, Karpin, Khokhlov and Karyaka who were all taken off before the second half.
