Russia forced Egypt to defeat with a score of 3-1 in Matchday 2 Group A 2018 World Cup in St Petersburg Stadium on Wednesday (20/06) early morning hrs.
Russia appear quite tolerable and quite dominant in this match. On the other hand, Egypt can slightly offset the ball but their performance is far from a solid word both on the front and back.
The home goals were scored by the own’s goal by Ahmed Faty, Denis Cherysev and Artem Dzyuba. The only Egyptian reply was produced by Mohamed Salah.
As host, Russia immediately took the initiative to attack first. But Egypt is trying to neutralize by playing a lot of ball in the area of defense itself.
As a result, Salah and his colleagues on the front lines were isolated. They can not do much to threaten the Russian goalkeeper. On the other hand Russia can slowly provide threats in the area of The Pharaohs penalty box.
