COPENHAGEN: Defensive calamities and a lack of creativity up front ended Russia's dream of reaching the knockout stage of the European championship for the first time in more than a decade, as they finished last in their group on Monday night.
Russia have yet to recover from the retirement of keeper Igor Akinfeyev, who was key to their quarter-final run at the 2018 World Cup. But Dzyuba was scoreless in Russia's first two matches, when he was marked diligently, and in Denmark's 4-1 win on Monday night he scored his team's only goal from the penalty spot - thereby equalling Alexander Kerzhakov's national team record of 30 goals.The rest of the side appeared to lack creativity and organisation up front, with the exception of a handful of skilful displays from Atalanta midfielder Alexei Miranchuk, one of the few Russians to play in a top European league.
