Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Russia and Egypt has kicked off!
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Russia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' 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 Ahmed Fathy suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Abdulla El Said has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 9 appearances.
  • 25' It is a cagey affair so far. Russia in their trying to find a way past Egypt's compact .
  • 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 35' Kahraba needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' Russia are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
  • 47' Ahmed Fathy adds to his 0 season tally! Egypt lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 52' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Stanislav Cherchesov will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 57' Trezeguet has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 57.
  • 59' Brilliant from the ! Denis Cheryshev makes it 1-1 with a superb finish on 59.
  • 62' Magnificent from Artem Dzyuba! That is 114 goals in 105 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 64' Amr Warda gets the nod from Egypt. He replaces Mohamed El Neny and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 68' Time for substitution for Egypt. Trezeguet is replaced by Ramadan Sobhi.
  • 73' Mohamed Salah makes no mistake. The score reads 2-2 and Egypt are in front.
  • 74' The Russia bench stirs into life. Denis Cheryshev is withdrawn and Daler Kuzyaev gets his opportunity.
  • 79' Russia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Fedor Smolov is hanging Artem Dzyuba on the field on 79 minute.
  • 82' Egypt ring the changes. Marwan Mohsen has done his job and it is now time for Kahraba to step up.
  • 84' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fedor Smolov on 84.
  • 86' Russia make a change. Yuri Zhirkov trudges off to be replaced by Fyodor Kudryashov on 86 minutes.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
