Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Russia gets underway.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Russia that had 105 games and scored 16 goals.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 15' Marwan Mohsen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' Egypt started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Denis Cheryshev suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Egypt is showing some good football. However, Egypt are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 47' Goal! Ahmed Fathy scores his 2 goal in 5 matches.
  • 52' It looks surprising Egypt does not make any changes. Igor Akinfeev has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' Egypt receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 57.
  • 59' GOAL! Denis Cheryshev scores on 59. Assisted by Mario Fernandes
  • 62' Sensational shot from Artem Dzyuba. Russia is back in the lead.
  • 64' The Egypt manager makes a substitution. Mohamed El Neny departs to be replaced by Amr Warda.
  • 68' Another change for Egypt made on 68 minute. Trezeguet leaves to be changed by Ramadan Sobhi.
  • 73' What a strike from Mohamed Salah! The score is 2-2.
  • 74' Another change for Russia made on 74 minute. Denis Cheryshev leaves to be changed by Daler Kuzyaev.
  • 79' The Russia manager makes a substitution. Artem Dzyuba departs to be replaced by Fedor Smolov.
  • 82' The supporters are chanting for Kahraba. He replaces Marwan Mohsen on 82 minute.
  • 84' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fedor Smolov on 84.
  • 86' Fyodor Kudryashov has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuri Zhirkov on 86 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-1.
