Uruguay were made to work
overtime before finally edging a late 1-0 win over Egypt in their opening Group
A contest in Ekaterinburg. Defender Jose Gimenez was the unlikely hero with a
towering last-minute winning header, after Egypt had impressed with their
organisation. Star forwards Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez were largely starved
of opportunities, although the former hit the post with a free-kick, as Uruguay
finished strongly. Egypt's star forward Mohamed Salah failed to make an
appearance after injury and the Pharaohs’ Russia 2018 opener ended on a sour
note.

Egypt's match against
Uruguay was headed for a draw until Uruguay finally broke the deadlock. The
Pharaohs held their opponents away from goal due to the defensive focus of
coach Hector Cuper, which succeeded in reducing the danger of Edinson Cavani
and Luis Suarez. However, the attack was not completely absent from the
Egyptian team, despite the absence of Mo Salah.
