World Cup 2018: Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Harry Maguire star in the round of 16

There was a mix of stunning individual team performances as well as some outstanding solo efforts in the round of 16.

Russia kept Spain at arm's length to win on penalties and Sweden held on to defend their 1-0 lead against Switzerland, while Kylian Mbappe and Neymar produced great individual performances to earn wins for France and Brazil.

A special mention must go to Kasper Schmeichel who kept out Luka Modric's late penalty to force a shootout as Denmark went home despite the goalkeeper twice saving from the spot.
