After a disappointing World Cup campaign, Fabio Capello's Russian side got their Euro 2016 qualification campaign off to a solid start with a 4-0 win over Lichtenstein. Despite the four goals, it wasn't the Russian strikers doing the damage as Liechtenstein gifted them three with two own-goals and a poor penalty given away.
