[RUSSIA-SWEDEN REPORT CARD] Guus Hiddink did it again, taking an underdog team and leading it to the knockout phase of a major championship. Russia moved into the quarterfinals of Euro '08 with a thoroughly deserved 2-0 win over Sweden on Wednesday.

Roman Pavlyuchenko scored after a superb buildup for his second goal in two games, and Andrei Arshavin, returning from a two-game suspension, sealed the victory by scoring after another series of exquisite passes.

The win sets up a date between Russia and the Netherlands, Hiddink's native country.
