Russia scored history by breaking through the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time. It came after the 2018 World Cup hosts beat Spain 4-3 on penalties in the last 16.

Spain, who put Andres Iniesta in reserve, excelled at the 12th through an own goal by Sergei Ignashevich. This goal stems from a cross from Marco Asensio, who became a starter to replace Iniesta. Ignashevich, who scrambles the ball with Sergio Ramos, instead directs the ball into his own net.
Russia, who lost top scorer, Denis Cheryshev, due to injury, put on a total defensive formation: 5-3-2. However, on several occasions they are still able to threaten Spain through counterattacks.
In the 40th minute Russia got a penalty after Gerard Pique handballed. He bolted for the ball in the penalty box and a header ball from Artem Dzyuba that led to the goal over his hand. Pique who protested got a yellow card.
