List of goalscorers
End of match
-
94'FT: Russia 3 - 1 Egypt - And that's that. A second-half blitz from Russia puts them on the brink of the knockout stages, as they move top of Group A. An own goal from Fathi was followed by contributions from Cheryshev and Dzyuba, and a goal from Salah couldn't prevent Egypt recording their second loss in the group stages. Their World Cup dream is now all-but over, as they sit on 0 points with 1 game to play.
-
90'Four minutes of added time to be played.
-
87'As is to be expected, Egypt are trying their best to find some late goals here, but no luck as of yet. They are being left quite exposed at the back, too, and it would be no surprise if Russia extended their lead on the counter attack.

Goaaaaaal!

-
59 'GOAL! RUSSIA! CHERYSHEV! And another for the forward, who bagged twice against Saudi Arabia. Mario Fernandes hits the byline down the right, before slicing a low ball back across the face of goal, into the path of Denis Cheryshev. The forward buries it, and it looks like Egypt's World Cup dreams are over.
-
56'Salah has his best chance of the game so far, finding himself free at the back post, but his shot is blocked for a corner.

47 'GOAL! RUSSIA! Fathi scores an own goal! Calamitous from Egypt, as they shoot themselves in the foot. After El-Shenawy punched a cross away, Zobnin fired a shot back into the box. Fathi attempts to clear, but ends up scuffing it into his own net. 1-0.

-
18'Now a chance for Cheryshev, who fires one just over the bar after a set play.
