Prolific trio share goalscorer crown

Serbia's Predrag Rajić, new Russia star Cirilo and Spain stalwart Daniel ended the UEFA European Futsal Championship finals in Porto as joint-top scorers.

Five-goal tally
KMF Marbo Beograd player Rajić claimed his five goals in only three group games as his team departed at that stage. Going into the final day, Cirilo, Daniel and Portugal starlet Ricardinho were all one goal adrift of Rajić, but only the home player failed to register. Cirilo, who only qualified for Russia this year and made his competitive debut here, struck in the third-place play-off defeat of Portugal and Daniel was on target in the 3-1 final win against Italy.

'Important achievement'
Rajić told uefa.com after the Ukraine match: "This is one of the most important achievements of my life. And also for the team it is a big thing to come third in the group, a great moment in our futsal history. Of course we are sad not to be in the semi-finals but we did our best and I hope we have showed all of Europe how good Serbian futsal is."

Roll of honour
Daniel, claiming his first final goal in three appearances, Rajić and Cirilo join a magnificent roll of honour as European Championship top scorer. The plaudit was taken twice by both Russia legend Konstantin Eremenko and Ukraine's Serhiy Koridze, and was won in 2005 by Nando Grana of Italy.
