Andrei Arshavin was the star as the Dutch were taken apart by an organised Russia team. The Dutch were never in control of the match as the Russians continued to outplay them and took the lead. Nistelrooy's goal could only take the match into extra time but the result was never in any doubt as the Russians scored twice in extra time to march into the semifinals.

Bastian Schweinsteiger returned to the team after suspension and played a fabulous match to send the pre tournament favourites into the semifinals. He scored the first and setup the other two goals as the German out powered the Portugese. Joachim Loew, who was given an one match touchline ban saw his team play effective football and come up triumph in the knock out stage. This defeat ends Scolari's reigns as Portugal manager as he moves to Stamford Bridge. Now the focus of the field totally will be on Ronaldo as he is set to announce his future.
