In yet another high-profile exit from the World Cup, Spain was stunned by hosts Russia, as they lost out the penalty shoot-out (4-3 in favor of Russia) after the score remained tied at 1-1 at the end of 120 minutes.
It took Spain a mere 12 minutes to get the lead, thanks to a Sergei Ignashevich own-goal, but Russia got the goal back after a handball from Gerard Pique. Dzyuba hit home from the spot to celebrate with his trademark salute, and Russia held on to that with their lives.
In the end, David De Gea could not make a single save in the shoot-out, while Igor Akinfeev reimbursed his legend status with two vital stops to send the former champions packing. Here is a look at four key takeaways at the end of the game.
