Russia cries: Sochi tragedy ends with Croatian victory on penalties | Sport

After 90 minutes, the result was 1: 1, and the teams again changed their goals through the extension. 4: 3

It is only the second time at the last six world championships that the host countries do not qualify for the semifinals (South Africa 2010)

The Croatians hit for the first time the four priority teams on the planet since 1998.

The Croats controlled the ball by 64%. and made 17 shots, but Danijel Subasičius, guardian of the Croatian gate, had more work than Igor Akinfeev.

For only three Croatian shots went to the door area. The Russians made 13 shots, but even struck 7 times in the rectangle.

The Russian team opened the first goal with a fantastic shot on Denis Cheryshev for 31 minutes

The Croatian response was quick: Andrejs Kramaritsus took advantage of the 39th minute

Domagozi Vida, who scored a corner (101 minutes), was sent to the Russian team during the upgrade, Mario Mandžukičius tied the score.

There were no other players in the team.

Sochi came back to euphoria when Mario Fernandes did the same – led the ball towards the shot of the head (115 min.)

Igor Akinfeev, in the series of offenses, bounced the blow from Mateo Kovacichi and was close to coping with the ban on Luka Modriča

A Russian referee was not enough Punishment

Danijelis Subasičius hit Fyodor Smolov, who was the first to strike first, and during the stretch, Mr.Fernandes, who became the hero, did not hit the zone of the door.

Ivan Rakitits completed the last Croatian punishment and Russian tears began to tremble.

Croatia became the second team, which managed to win a series of penalties.

It is Argentina who made it for the first time in 1990.

We recall that the Croats eliminated Denmark in the eighth final, while the Russians in the quarterfinals final have also recovered from Spain.
