Another FORMER WORLD CHAMPION out ! WHY SPAIN DEFEATED BY RUSSIA? An ANALYSIS BY me.

Diego costa replaced very early in the match. He is best striker and capacity to beat the opponent. It was the biggest mistake by coach.

Spain was sure that he win the match in regulation time hence not too much prepare for penalty kick.

Russia played with proper plan, not give too much free strike in front of goal-post.

Spain never win against host country in worldcup history.

There was not to much expectation from russian team hence they played without any pressure.

Excellent performance by russian goal keeper Igor Akinfeev.
