38 – Sergei Ignashevich (38 years, 335 days) is the oldest outfield player to feature in a World Cup match since Roger Milla in 1994. Seasoned.

You can only marvel at the sheer awfulness of defending which managed to be an own goal and would’ve been a penalty if not. Hats off Sergei Ignashevich. #SPARUS

Remembering that Sergei Ignashevich scored during Porto’s UCL final victory 14 years ago makes me feel old

You’ve got to feel for #SergeiIgnashevich, After all but amputating Spanish star #SergioRamos, the Russian defender chipped in an own-goal with his heel as he pile-drove Ramos into the turf. In the @CopaMundiaI. That mistake may haunt him for the next few decades.#Goooooal! pic.twitter.com/wqeP0rubjn

Big unit Artem Dzyuba does the biz with the penalty and the Moscow restaurant can’t quite believe it. #WorldCup #russpa pic.twitter.com/V8Lo4kyt50
