Russia's performance at the UEFA Euro 2004 tournament was a disappointment, as they were eliminated in the group stage. They were placed in Group A, alongside Spain, Portugal, and Greece—a tough group, given that both Greece and Portugal went on to meet in the final.

Here's a breakdown of Russia's results and performance at Euro 2004:

Group Stage Results:

1. Spain 1–0 Russia (June 12, 2004, Faro/Loulé)

   • Goal: Juan Carlos Valerón (60') for Spain
   • Russia struggled to create chances and were defensively solid but couldn't prevent Valerón from scoring in the second half.

2. Russia 0–2 Portugal (June 16, 2004, Lisbon)

   • Goals: Maniche (7'), Rui Costa (89')
   • Russia faced the host nation, Portugal, and suffered an early setback when Maniche scored just 7 minutes into the game. Their task was made harder when their goalkeeper, Sergey Ovchinnikov, was sent off in the second half.

3. Russia 2–1 Greece (June 20, 2004, Faro/Loulé)

   • Goals: Dmitri Kirichenko (2'), Dmitri Bulykin (17') for Russia; Zisis Vryzas (43') for Greece
   • Russia finally managed to get a win in their last group game, handing Greece their only defeat of the tournament. Kirichenko's goal at 1 minute and 7 seconds was the fastest in Euro 2004. Despite the win, Russia were already eliminated from progressing to the knockout stage due to their previous two losses.
