Russia in stalemate with Lithuania

Russia's preparations for Euro 2012 have taken a blip as they were held to a goalless draw by Lithuania in Switzerland this evening.

Dick Advocaat's men couldn't break down Lithuania, who are ranked joint 89th alongside Saudi Arabia in the FIFA world rankings.

The Russians, 11th in the same table, played the likes of Andrey Arshavin and Alexander Kerzhakov in Nyon but were held to a stalemate.

Russia are in Group A at Euro 2012, alongside Greece, Poland and the Czech Republic, whom they play on the tournament's opening day on June 8.
