FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 Highlights Russia 3-1 Egypt June 19 2018

Russia moved closer to the World Cup last 16 qualification after the host nation beat Mohamed Salah’s Egypt in St Petersburg.

Russia took who beat Saudi Arabia in the World Cup opener the lead thanks to a bizarre 47th-minute own goal from Ahmed Fathi, who diverted Roman Zobnin’s shot into his own net.

Denis Cheryshev doubled Russia’s advantage after he finished from Mario Fernandes‘ pull-back, before Artem Dzyuba sealed the victory with a fine individual goal.

Liverpool forward Salah, playing for the first time since sustaining a shoulder injury in the Champions League final, converted a penalty after he had been fouled – but it was not enough to mount an Egypt fightback.

Russia will qualify for the last 16 and Egypt will be eliminated from the competition if Saudi Arabia fail to beat Uruguay in Rostov-on-Don on Wednesday.
