The only thing I can think of was that Cherchesov was depending on Russia's defense and relying on the match to go to PK. This is the first World Cup to allow one substitution in extra time. That's when he brought out the cavalry;
#Dzagoev and relied too heavily on#Akinfeev.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
You have a more recent memory of the game, but I distinctly remember thinking that the Russians desperately needed to push offensively b/c they were dangerously besieged, only they couldn't muster the flanking counterattacks & finishing anymore.
