Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko scored one and created another one as Guus Hiddink’s Russia recorded a eased past Azerbaijan 2-0 in Moscow.

The match was Hiddink’s first in charge of Russia since combining the role with that of Chelsea manager, and his side did well against the group minnows without ever really excelling.

The first half was an underwhelming spectacle, with Russia struggling to assert themselves and Azerbaijan unable to offer anything but a succession of wild and speculative long-range shots.

On the other Russia, after creating very few goal scoring chances went ahead with a Pavlyuchenko free-kick and later in the second half wrapped things when Pavlyuchenko beat Azerbaijan’s defense and fed a beautiful ball to Konstantin Zyryanov who doubled the lead.

Highlights:.

Russia 1-0 Azerbaijan

Russia 2-0 Azerbaijan
