Joyful moments, joyful goals, a great day for the host as they double their lead with a 6 point advantage head-on to the next level, triumph over their first opponent without mistakes, then comes colliding with Egypt which seals a 3-1 victory. Proven to be dangerous on the field they are now confident for the next challenge against Uruguay before the round of 16. With a gameplay at their control, a difficult force was mounted on the Egyptians face, Russia was simply fantastic tonight.
Marking a sad night for the pharoahs, with hopes to win crumble at the mercy of Russia sents them packing. Getting better in the first half 'one would think Egypt could have a chance to find a firm root in the group stage and pephaps use the weakest team as a ladder to qualify'.
But getting fire up after the second kick-off backfire at them with a humiliating 1-0 own goal, without warning their fighting spirit to equalise was put down with a devastating 2-0 by cheryshev, at about 60 minutes their hope crashed at a decisive 3-0 lead.
A conciliation goal was not enough to lighten their despair. Egypt thus is officially out of the Russia 2018 world cup
