'La Roja' looked to have taken control of the game early on as Sergei Ignashevich's own goal put them in the driving seat in Moscow, but they shot themselves in the foot just minutes before half-time.
Aleksandr Samedov swung in a corner from the right and rising to meet it was the imposing figure of Dzyuba. He headed goalwards, only for his effort to be blocked by the arm of Gerard Pique, with referee Bjorn Kuipers immediately pointing to the spot.
Dzyuba did the rest, assuming responsibility from the spot to send David De Gea the wrong way to level the match with his third goal in four World Cup games.
It is quickly turning into a dream tournament for the striker, who has poreviously faced criticism for his agressive, in-your-face approach.
