That was an awful lot of drama for just two hours. Croatia looked devastated by Fernandes' equaliser and you would have backed the Russians to win the shootout. Interesting decision from Modric to let Russia take the first penalty. It certainly paid off in the end.
Thanks for joining us for our coverage of the quarter-finals. We'll be back with coverage of the mouth-watering, all-European semi-finals. France vs Belgium and England vs Croatia.
Rakitic sends Akinfeev the wrong way, slipping his kick to the left.
Kuziaev drives his shot into the bottom left. Croatia will have to convert their last kick to make the semi-finals.
Vida lashes his into the left as well.
Ignashevich smashes his penalty into the bottom left, sending Subasic the wrong way.
That was sooo lucky, spinning off Akinfeev, onto the post and somehow in at the other side.
Dreadful penalty, which Fernandes dragged wide of the left-hand goalpost. The man who nabbed the equaliser has fluffed his lines.
Mateo Kovacic's effort is low and hard to the right. Akinfeev scrambles to his left and claws it away.
Brozović opens his body and belts his effort high and to the right. Great penalty.
It's a soft effort and Subasic saves easily.
