Dick Advocaat may be feeling less optimistic about Russia's preparations for Euro 2012 after seeing his team held to a 0-0 draw by Lithuania.
Izmailov: Cut a frustrated figure
Advocaat was greatly encouraged by a weekend draw with Uruguay but they were far less impressive tonight with Lithuania striking the crossbar early on and keeping Igor Akinfeev much the busier goalkeeper on the night.
Saulius Mikoliunas hit the crossbar with a shot from the edge of the area in the second minute, while Russia's best chance was a powerful long-range effort from Roman Pavlyuchenko which stung the palms of Ernestas Setkus just before half-time.
