Russia will face either Croatia or Denmark, who were meeting later on Sunday, in Sochi on July 7.
Both the goals came in the first half. Spain took a 12th-minute lead when veteran Russia defender Sergei Ignashevich put into his own net but Artem Dzyuba equalised from a penalty for the hosts in the 42nd minute after Gerard Pique handled in the area.
