Slovenia upset Russia 1-0 Wednesday night and qualified for the World Cup for just the second time. Zlatko Dedic scored with one minute left in the first half, taking a 25-yard pass from Valter Birsa and slotting the ball to the left corner past goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev. The teams tied 2-2 in the home-and-home, total-goals series, and Slovenia won because it had an away goal.
