KATHMANDU: Uruguay defender Jose Gimenez scored a solarity goal in the dying minutes of second half of the game to shatter Egypt at the Ekaterinburg Arena in Yekaterinburg today.
Egypt without their talisman Mohamad Salah defended in numbers to thwart Uruguay attack for an extended period but crumbled in the dying minutes of the game.
Neither side created any clear-cut chances in the early exchange of the game. The game burst into life after Luis Suarez blasted a close-range effort into a side netting.
Egypt goalie Mohamed El Shenawi pinched the ball away from Luis Suarez foot when putting on through to a goal by Edison Cavani before Suarez could pull a trigger from the six yard.
Suarez returned a favour to his strike partner by setting up Cavani to volley from the edge of the area before drawing a world class save from the custodian.
Uruguay up the ante in the closing stage of the game and drew a foul from the tiring Egyptian defenders around the 35 yard. Cavani stepped up to take the strike before rattling the woodwork.
Finally, Uruguay broke the dead-lock from an unlikely source of defender Jose Gimenez who jumped to meet a cross from the right side of the pitch to sent the ball nestling in the net.
Earlier, Russia had defeated the Asian side Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the opening fixture of the tournament yesterday.

Russia will take on Egypt at the Krestovsky Stadium in Saint Petersburg on June 19, whereas, Saudi Arabia will play against Uruguay the following day at the Rostov Arena in Rostov-on-Don.

The teams are in the tunnel at the St Petersburg Stadium and click-clack their way out on to the pitch for a match that is pretty must-win for both sides, even if it is the first game of Group B. Kick-off is just a few minutes away, but first: the National anthems.
ITV are showing this one in the UK: With 13 minutes to go until kick-off between Morocco and Iran, they’re focussing exclusively on … England and telling viewers nothing whatsoever about either of the teams playing in the match they’re actually covering. It’s understandable, I suppose, if a little disappointing. Oh … hold on, they’re now discussing the two managers involved in this encounter – specifically their English links.
It is, of course, possible that none of their pundits –Slaven Bilic, Eni Aluko and Ryan Giggs – know anything about Morocco or Iran and if that is the case, you’d have to wonder what exactly it is they’re doing in the studio? It should be noted that BBC were equally guilty of this anglo-centric focus in today’s earlier game between Uruguay and Egypt.
