After crushing Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the opener, they beat Egypt 3-1 on Tuesday to put themselves on the brink of qualifying for the round of 16.<br /> <br /> Russia didn't score until the second half but had three goals in 16 minutes to put the Pharaohs away. Egypt got a late penalty kick goal from Mohamed Salah, but it was over by then.<br /> <br /> Russia made it 1-0 in the 47th minute on the tournament's fifth own goal, one shy of tying the all-time record set in 1998:<br /> This is a big result. It means Russia is through if as long as Saudi Arabia doesn't win against Uruguay on Wednesday. As for Egypt, they have all but secured a ticket out of Russia after the group stage.<br /> <br /> Up next for Russia is a game against Uruguay, which will likely be for placement in the knockouts. Egypt likely closes out their tournament in their next match, which comes against Saudi Arabia. You can watch both games, which start at 10 a.m. ET on Monday.<br /> <br /> credit: CBS Sports<br /> <br /> <br />

A header off a free kick by defender Jose Maria Giminez was the difference after Uruguay’s bigger stars, Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, squandered several chances.<br /> <br /> Egypt played without its own star, Mohamed Salah, who was nursing a shoulder injury yet had been expected to play.<br /> <br /> Jose Gimenez headed powerfully into the net in the 90th minute as he met Carlos Sanchez's free-kick to give the South Americans a winning start in Russia.<br /> <br /> Uruguay had been the better side as Luis Suarez had missed four chances and Edinson Cavani had hit the inside of a post with a 25-yard free-kick.<br /> <br /> Salah, who scored 44 times for Liverpool this season, remained an unused substitute as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury sustained in last month's Champions League final.<br /> <br /> Without Salah, Egypt lacked a cutting edge and had looked on course to earn a point in their first match at a World Cup finals since 1990 before Gimenez's late goal.<br /> <br /> The result means Russia are top of Group A after their 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the tournament's opening game on Thursday.<br /> <br /> credit: BBC

Yuri Gazinsky scored on a header 12 minutes in, and afterward Saudi Arabia could offer little resistance.<br /> <br /> <h2> Russia vs Saudi Arabia All Goals:</h2> <h3>     Artem Dzyuba (71')<br />    Denis Cheryshev (43', 90' +1)<br />    Iury Gazinsky (12')<br />    Aleksandr Golovin (90' +4)</h3> <br /> Russia’s second, third and fourth goals were all by substitutes: one by Artem Dzyuba and two by Denis Cheryshev. With time running out, Aleksandr Golovin got a fifth goal on a free kick, past a badly tired Saudi defense.<br /> <br /> Saudi Arabia, a team whose players are virtually all based in their obscure home league, offered an air of mystery. But that was before the game. It became clear very quickly that they were no match for a Russian team that itself has not been a worldbeater in recent years.<br /> <br /> [Need some help? Here’s a breakdown of all 32 teams.]<br /> <br /> Gazinsky’s header foiled the Saudi plan to work the counterattack, and the team seldom got the ball even deep into Russia’s territory after that. Russia itself took over the counterattacking and found the goal at its mercy time and time again.<br /> <br /> More troubling to Russia was an apparent hamstring injury to midfielder Alan Dzagoev. But that did allow the team to bring in Cheryshev, who duly scored moments later.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Even at halftime, the Saudis looked broken, and it did not get better. Dzyuba scored on another header, likewise just after entering the game, then Cheryshev added his second in the 90th minute.<br /> Continue reading the main story<br /> <br /> If that late goal seemed unfair to the Saudis, it got worse a moment later when Goliovin added No. 5 on a free kick in injury time.<br /> <br /> “I think that a poor performance explains the result,” said Saudi Manager Juan Antonio Pizzi, adding, perhaps unnecessarily, “As for our strategy, we must change.”<br /> <br /> It was the perfect start for the host nation, although its remaining group games, against Egypt and Uruguay, will be much sterner challenges.<br /> <br /> “Egypt will be a different game, city and stadium,” said Manager Stanislav Cherchesov. “We need to meticulously prepare ourselves.”<br /> <br /> As for Saudi Arabia, if it manages even a 2-0 loss, say, in its remaining games, it will seem like an impressive accomplishment.<br /> <br /> <br /> Iury Gazinsky header is first goal of Russia 2018<br /> Denis Cheryshev doubles the lead just before the break<br /> Artem Dzyuba scores moments after his introduction in the second half<br /> <br /> Joy and pain<br /> The extremes of emotion the World Cup can yield have been on display here in Moscow. Russia will be on a massive high, while Saudi Arabia may struggle to recover from this stunning defeat.<br /> <br /> <br /> credit: nytimes<br /> <div> <br /></div>
