However this was not to be the case. Russia never found themselves behind in the match and went on to win 5-3 to progress to their first ever World Cup semi final.https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/matches/round=258281/match=300166608/summary.html https://archive.today/20120904052614/http://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/matches/round=258281/match=300166608/summary.html dead September 4, 2012 Russia down Mexico to reach semis FIFA.com 2011-09-08 2011-09-13 By far the biggest shock in the competition, it would be El Salvador who would play Russia in the semi-finals. The Central American's, who up until now had never even won a game at a World Cup, had beaten Oman and Argentina in the group stage and had even beaten hosts and European giants Italy in the quarter-finals to reach this stage, making Russia huge favourites to reach the final. In spite of El Salvador's efforts, Russia prevailed in a straightforward semi final, winning 7-3, moving on to play in their first ever FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup final.https://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/matches/round=258280/match=300166596/summary.html https://archive.today/20120731002235/http://www.fifa.com/beachsoccerworldcup/matches/round=258280/match=300166596/summary.html dead July 31, 2012 Russia reach first-ever Final FIFA.com 2011-09-10 2011-09-13 Brazil Brazil started their World Cup campaign in Group D alongside Mexico, Ukraine and Japan, as reigning World Champions as well as being considered the best team in the world, having won the last four FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups and having scored a huge 56 goals in 6 games during qualifying. Brazil were by far the favourites to win a fifth consecutive title. Brazil's first match was against the surprise champions of the European qualifiers, Ukraine. Despite having beaten the likes of Switzerland and Portugal to win the European qualifiers, many believed it was a stroke of luck that Ukraine were champions of the tournament and therefore it was expected that they would struggle against Brazil. However this was not the case. Ukraine, playing a very defensive game, taking Brazil to a penalty shootout after a 3-3 draw after extra time, but ultimately, after a fantastic performance by Ukraine and an average performance by Brazil, the South American's won the penalty shootout 2-1, taking 2 points away from the game. It was the first time since 2007 that Brazil had been taken past normal time. Brazil's second game was against Mexico. Again, Brazil's performance was below par however their quality was still enough to win the game, 5-2, which all but secured a place in the quarter-finals. The final round of matches saw Brazil take on already eliminated Japan. Although Japan had been convincingly beaten by both Mexico and Ukraine, Brazil once again struggled to dominate as they have dominated games in the past and scraped to a 3-2 victory, finishing top of the group on 8 points. Having finished first in Group D, Brazil met the runners-up of Group C, Nigeria in the quarter-finals. Having finished second behind Senegal in the African qualifiers, plus having failed to beat giants Russia in the group stage, it was thought unlikely that Nigeria could pose any threat to Brazil. Nevertheless, Brazil's lack of form gave confidence to Nigeria who, in a stunning game, drew the game level at 8 goals all in the final minutes, taking Brazil to extra time; the first time in history that Brazil had been taken to extra time twice in a World Cup. Brazil scored two goals in extra time to win 10-8 and move into the semi-finals. For the third tournament in a row, Brazil met Portugal in the semi-finals. With Brazil's mediocre performances, many believed that Portugal could put an end to Brazil's winning streak of 28 World Cup games. Having already played 4 games, Brazil finally found form when they needed to, coming through to beat their old rivals 4-1 to set up another World Cup final.
