Uruguay defeated Egypt in their first match of Russia world cup as Mo Salah remains at the bench.
It took nearly 90 minutes, but Uruguay finally got a goal and defeated a stubborn Egypt team. A Jose Gimenez header on the verge of 90 minutes gave Uruguay a 1-0 win over Egypt at the Yekaterinburg Arena.
Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez squandered several chances. Egypt played without its own star, Mohamed Salah, who was nursing a shoulder injury yet had been expected to play.
