Chelsea`s record signing Andriy Shevchenko nets his first World Cup Finals goal as Saudia Arabia are humbled.

In a match that resurrected the Ukraine`s chances of progressing, it was Chelsea`s record signing that netted the vital third goal by meeting a tantalising cross the former AC Milan player lost his marker to plant a firm header past the keeper.

Just weeks short of his thirtieth birthday, the Ukrainian international, still lacking match fitness after his recent injury, will be looking to provide the verve needed to get the Ukraine over the finishing line.

Today, although he had several half chances, that vital final touch was lacking. Nevertheless it`s nice to be able to add his name to the growing list of Chelsea player`s that have already scored in the 2006 World Cup Finals.
