Russia this evening knocked Spain out of the World Cup beating them
in a tension-soaked penalty kickout after the game ended 1 - 1 in full
time and extra-time.
Own goal by Sergei Ignashevich gave Spain the lead before Artem Dzyuba equalized for Russia.
After the full time and extra time, Aspas missed the last penalty
for Spain as they were eliminated by Russia. The hosts are through to
the quarter finals as keeper Igor Vladimirovich Akinfeev became the hero
of the game.
Sergio Ramos, Pique, Iniesta all scored for Spain while Koke and
Aspas missed from the penalty spot. Cheryshev, Golovin, veteran defender
Ignashevich and Smolov all scored from the penalty spot to ensure that
Russia triumph against Spain.
