Spain 1 Russia 1 (Russia won 4-3 on penalties)
Host nation Russia are through to the World Cup
quarter-finals after a shock penalty shoot-out victory against
Spain.
World Cup round of 16: fixtures, results, kick-off
times and stadiums
The match finished 1-1 after extra-time and it was goalkeeper
and captain Igor Akinfeev who became the Russian hero with penalty
saves from Spain’s Koke and Iago Aspas.
In a very tense match in Moscow Spain took the lead
through a Sergei Ignashevich own goal but Russia were level four
minutes before half-time when Artem Dzyuba slotted home a penalty
after Gerard Pique was penalised for handball.
Despite having the majority of possession Spain could not
break down a defensive Russian side in the second-half or during
the extra 30 minutes.
The game went to spot kicks and it was Russia who held
their nerve to win 4-3 on penalties.
How the shoot-out unfolded (Spain took first):
- 1-0: Iniesta scored
- 1-1: Smolov scored
- 2-1: Pique scored
- 2-2: Ignashevich scored
- 2-2: Koke missed
- 2-3: Golovin scored
- 3-3: Ramos scored
- 4-3: Cheryshev scored
- 4-3: Aspas missed
Russia will now face Croatia or Denmark in the World Cup
quarter-final on Saturday 7 July (7pm).

victory:

World Cup….
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE RUSSIANS WHO ARE CELEBRATING THIS WIN.

Say whatever you want to but Russia doesn’t
deserve to qualify. Sad to see Iniesta depart this way in his last
#Worldcup .
End of an era. Thankyou Don Andres.#ESPRUS pic.twitter.com/aRjemfTUqi— khanak (@khanak_08) July 1, 2018
