Russia coach Guus Hiddink warned Spain not to get carried away with their 4-1 victory over his side on Tuesday.

Russia battled hard in Tuesday's Euro 2008 opener for both sides, but came off second-best against a slick Spain, for whom Valencia hitman David Villa netted a hat-trick.

"I don't want to be misinterpreted, but I would like to see how Spain react when they have to face an opponent who will offer them better opposition, against a team who know the law of international competition," said Hiddink, who admitted in the build-up to the tournament that his players lacked experience of the big events.

"We have been our own worse enemies at the crucial moments," he said after the loss in Innsbruck

"I genuinely believed, even at 2-0, that if we got a goal then the result might turn as in our qualifying match against England," added Hiddink, referring to October's match in Moscow where Russia hit back from 1-0 down to win 2-1.

"We weren't very streetwise and I hope we can learn a lesson from this. We were very naive."
