What. A. Hit!
Denis Cheryshev, who has had an incredible tournament with Russia so far, hit a beauty of a goal to give Russia a 1-0 lead in the first half against Croatia.
Russia, who were written off as having little or no hope in the lead up to the tournament, have wormed their way to the quarter-final and, at the time of writing, stood on the brink of making it the semi-finals, thanks to Cheryshev’s cracker.
