Spain 1-1 Russia, the game continues in the extra round

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – The Spain vs. Russia match ended 1-1 at a normal time. Now the winners of the 16th World Cup 2018 will be determined by an extra round

Spain beat Sergei Ignashevich's goal in the 12th minute, then Russia tied in the 40th minute with a penalty from Artem Dzyuba

the first half, Spain has more controlled ball, even nearly 70 percent. But they can not use the ball to create opportunities because their attacks are often stopped before entering the penalty area.

The goal of Spain goes through a free kick. Marco Asensio of the right wing sent the ball to the last post by Sergio Ramos, but the ball went just wide of the goal for Ignashevich before he scored.

Meanwhile, Russia is also hard to build a good attack. They mainly expect their own defense while relying on counter-attacks.

We were successful for a penalty, after Gérard Pique blocked the ball that led to the goal with his hand. Dzyuba, who was designated responsible for a successful penalty, sent the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal.

With a 1-1 draw at half-time, the two teams immediately took over in the second half. However, until the second half lasts 15 minutes, there is no good opportunity that can be created at one time.

Spain again took possession of the ball, but the ball just came out of the penalty area. When the Spanish midfielder tried to cross the cross, they still failed.

Coach Fernando Hierro then made a substitution of the player in the 65th minute including Maestro Andres Iniesta and David Silva out.

Three minutes later, Hierro replaced the right-back Nacho Hernandez by Dani Carvajal, hoping that Carvajal could attack.

Two substitutions were ineffective in dismantling the Russian defense and the Matador team did not create opportunities in the next 10 minutes.

Hierro also made the final round by entering Iago Aspas to replace Diego Costa.

The golden opportunity for Spain came in the 85th minute thanks to the Iniesta foot. Welcoming the ball that was vomiting outside the penalty area, Iniesta kicked the right foot, but goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev rushed to the right and pushed back the ball.

Aspas then caught the ball, but his shot just slipped through the goal's face.

In the 89th minute, Spain won three consecutive corner kicks. But the ball that Koke and Isco delivered from the corner did not work.

Russia then made ketir-ketir against Spain thanks to a counterattack in the 92nd minute. But substitute Fedor Smolov, who was sent to the penalty area, sent the ball up from the Spanish goal.

The score 1-1 lasted until the referee rang the long whistle so that the match continued in the extra round.
