Hey ,
The crowd in Russia roared in celebration as their home team booked a place in the last eight of the World Cup. In a dramatic penalty shootout, they beat pre-tournament favourites Spain. Much like their renowned goalkeeper Lev Yashin, Igor Akinfeev wrote his own heroic chapter for Russia. They are now in the quarter-finals for the first time in 48 years.
As it happens, Croatia will also advance to the next round. They sent Denmark out of the running after Danijel Subasic saved three penalties. The AS Monaco goalie dedicated his performance to the memory of a late friend. Ivan Rakitic who scored his penalty said it was the most emotional game of his career.
These inspiring teams will meet at Fisht Stadium this Saturday for a place in the semi-finals. Who do you think will win?
