Russian model and TV personality Victoria Lopyreva celebrated wildly as she saw Russia score the equalizer in their World Cup last 16 match against Spain at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium.

Lopyreva, who works as a FIFA World Cup ambassador, was in the stands at Luzhniki on Sunday and posted a video of herself and a female companion screaming in delight after Artem Dzyuba equalized from the penalty spot on 41 minutes.

Dzyuba’s goal canceled out Spain’s opener on 12 minutes through an own goal from veteran defender Sergei Ignashevich – and Lopyreva was clearly delighted to see the teams level.

Lopyreva was formerly married to Russia striker Fedor Smolov, who came on as a second-half substitute in Moscow.
