There was another shock in the World Cup as Spain crashed out of the competition against Russia.With Germany, Argentina and Portugal already out of the tournament, Spain would face fancied their chances of lifting their second World Cup.And it looked as if they would seal their passage to the quarter-finals as a Sergey Ignashevich own goal gave them the lead after just 12 minutes.But despite having the lions share of the possession, they could not make their dominance count as Russia’s defence held firm.And the hosts punished Spain as Artyom Dzyuba converted from the penalty spot.The game would go to penalties, with Spain unable to create any real chances of note for the remainder of the game.And they would eventually succumb to the hosts on penalties, after Iago Aspas and Koke missed their spot-kicks.It really was an awful day for Spain.Although they had the majority of the possession, few will argue that they deserved to go through.And there was one moment in the first half of extra time that summed their performance up.With Spain on the attack, Aspas tripped over the feet of a Russian defender.In attempting to get up, Isco then clattered into him, completely unaware he was there, sending both sprawling to the floor.

It really was a comical moment - and one that summed up their day.

Nothing worked for them against the hosts.

Few would have predicted them to go out to Russia, but they are going out with a whimper.

Sergio Ramos was understandably gutted after the game, but despite the result, he was happy with how his side performed in defeat.

"It's very hard," Ramos said after the game. "Whenever you are knocked out of a World Cup, it is very painful.

"The team did everything possible, to try and prove ourselves again. It was not to be.

"We could not do more -- we gave everything. A penalty was the only way they could cause us danger. In extra-time we did everything, again -- kept the ball.

"Penalties are a lottery -- and we lost today, but I am very proud of these players as captain."

"We have a team to keep dreaming," he said. "After all the criticism following the group stages, we have proven ourselves as a team again today.

"We will be back at big tournaments again. Some players will come, others will go, but we're always proud to represent this national team."
