UEFA spokesman: "It is just a lucky guess.

"I have been in touch with people internally and they are quite surprised. They find it a little ridiculous actually.

"The results of the draw and the practice draw were completely different, and I think it was just pure luck that this guy could get them all right.

"That's the only explanation we can give."

Former Russia goalkeeper Rinat Dasaev pulled the balls out of the hat during the draw, and UEFA are confident that the entire procedure was impossible to rig.
