Graffiti depicting Russia captain and goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev has been painted inside a university in Russia's Siberian city of Kemerovo after the goalkeeper helped to see his side through to the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, the university's spokeswoman Veronika Dzvonik said.
Graffiti pictures of Akinfeev have appeared all over Russia after the famous move of the goalkeeper while catching the ball in the Spain-Russia match, reports Sputnik news agency.
Russia beat Spain on penalties in the round of 16 at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium on June 1, with Akinfeev saving two of Spain's spot-kicks.
Graffiti of Akinfeev was also painted in Shelkovo in the Moscow region.
