Russia can still say thank you to Denis Cheryshev. Russia's great success story in the first round of the World Cup, the Russian left-hander once again made headlines against Croatia on Saturday for the last quarter-final of the World Cup. After a first half-hour that was as balanced as sterile, even boring, the number 6 woke up Sochi with a light shot in the middle of the net after a relay with Artem Dzyuba at 20 meters.

Russia leads 1-0. But the joy lasts only eight minutes since after a Mandzukic center, Andrej Kamaric equalizes with a diving head at close range. At the break, Russia and Croatia are tied 1-1.

⚽ KRAMARIC OF THE HEADOn the left, Mandzukic is strangely alone and can overflow. Its center, powerful and halfway up, finds Kramaric at the first post, whose uncrossed head goes to the bottom! https://t.co/HVBZQIvqV3

A history of heads in overtime
No goal scored in the second half, Russian and Croatian are entitled to a further extension. And Croatia hit the first when, on a corner hit by Luka Modric, Domagoj Vida rises higher than everyone and gives the advantage to his own (101st).

This advantage, however, the Croats could not keep until the end. Too wait, they gave Russia an opportunity. And Stanislav Cherchessov's men seized him. On a free kick by Alan Dzagoev, Mario Fernandes, the defender from Brazil, has in turn set a headbutt unstoppable (115th). The two nations will decide on penalties. The winner of this match will challenge England on Wednesday (8pm) for a place in the World Cup final.
