Russia’s impressive start to the World Cup took a downward turn as they had a man sent off and were easily defeated 3-nil by Uruguay in the FIFA World Cup.

Luiz Suarez, Denys Cheryshev and Edinson Cavani scored the goals from the Uruguay side in the game.

Uruguay tops its pool after three matches and has nine points while Russia qualifies as runner-up with 6 points.

In the other group A clash, Mohammed Salah’s Egypt ended their campaign pointless with a 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia.

Salah’s goal was not enough as Saudi Arabia came from behind to seal the win.
