2018 FIFA World Cup: Russian fans celebrate in Moscow after team's historic victory over Spain

In yet another dramatic turn at the ongoing 21st edition of the FIFA World Cup, hosts Russia on Sunday defeated pre-tournament favourites Spain 4-3 via penalty shootouts after the high voltage round of 16 match ended 1-1 at full time at the Luzhniki Stadium.
Following Lionel Messi-led Argentina and Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal heartbreaking departure yesterday, Spain also didn't manage to hold on to their nerves in the first penalty shootout of the tournament.
Goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev proved out as Russia's hero after he saved two penalties of Koke and Iago Aspas while Russian players easily managed to beat star goalkeeper David de Gea.
Sergei Ignashevich became the oldest scorer of an own goal in World Cup history when the 38-year-old gave Spain an early lead in the 12th minute of the game.
But Russia soon got the equaliser in the 41st minute as Artem Dzyuba smashed home a penalty after his header was blocked by Gerard Pique's arm in the box.
