Group B winner vs. Group A runner-up
Day two of the knockout phase of the 2018 World Cup begins in Moscow as Group B winner Spain takes on hosts Russia, who place second in Group A behind Uruguay. Spain topped Group B in dramatic fashion with a video-reviewed goal from Iago Aspas in injury time providing the necessary draw to keep the 2010 World Cup champions above Portugal.<br> Nothing has been easy about the progress of Spain in this tournament and some of the problems in on-field organization could be the understandable result of the off-field surprise switch in manager that occurred on the eve of the tournament. With only five points from a group stage that included a 1-0 over Iran and two hard-fought draws against Portugal and Morocco, manager Fernando Hierro will hope his side has found a semblance of form despite the turmoil.<br> Russia started their own tournament with a resounding bang, defeating Saudi Arabia 5-0 and Egypt 3-1 behind tireless running and confident finishing from Denis Cheryshev and Artem Dzyuba. But they enter the knockout rounds with less momentum after a 3-0 loss to Uruguay. The home underdog looked the more impressive side in group play and with the passionate Luzhniki Stadium crowd behind them the Russian team will hope to score first and have that support push them over the line.
