One was a miracle, both was science-fiction.

Slovenia looked very dangerous on the break for the first 10 minutes,
from that point on until the last five minutes Russia were on top
without looking like a particulary breath taking. Bilyaletidinov with
two goals, the first of which was a decent solo effort ("turns"
defender and whallops ball into net from edge of area).

Then in the last five, Slovenia awoke from their slumber, pull one
goal back thanks to a FIFA09 style "rebound" goal (keeper palms shot
right into path of attacker who heads into empty net) and very nearly
made it 2-2 but for a fine save by Akinfeev at the end.

This one's set up very nicely for the second leg. From what I remember
the ground at Maribor is quite compact, which could make a hostile
atmopshere for the Russians? Although I still think the way Russia
plays suits away performances more than home ones.

Not even the Greek wanted to watch this - most of the stadium was empty.
