After Uruguay secured all three points against Saudi Arabia, Egypt was eliminated from the competition. The African nation had failed to register a single point in their first two matches and just like Morocco, they have been eliminated from the World Cup.
Russia, the host nation, had put up a convincing second-half performance. Although Salah converted the penalty for his side, it was too late to change the result of the game. Now that the only South American nation of the group had secured their second consecutive victory, it meant that both Russia and Uruguay are through to the knock-out stages of the competition.
As the lowest ranked side of the competition, it came as a surprise that Russia would be playing in the Round of 16.
It will definitely be a blow for the Egyptians who will return home after the final group stage match that they would be playing. Here is how the fans reacted to the elimination news.
