The pitch invasion by members of the punk band at the beginning of the second part of the match at the Luzhniki stadium in Moscow was held in front of Russian President Vladimir Putin and others Officials of the world.
The four were Veronika Nikulshina, Olga Pakhtusova, Olga Kurachyova and Piotr Verzilov, the only man.
Kurachyova said his exploit, which kept the game paralyzed only briefly, was done to promote freedom of expression and condemn the politics of Fifa, which controls world football.
"It's unfortunate that we interrupted the athletes," Kurachyova told reporters on Monday. "FIFA is involved in foul games, unfortunately, Fifa is a friend of the state leaders who repress, who violate human rights."
Verzilov said that the act was also done to show with "the state, in the form of the police, encroaches on people's lives."
