Hosts Russia continue goal spree despite return of Egypt's Salah

Then in the 59th minute, Mario Fernandes blitzed down the right and delivered the volley to Denis Cheryshev. The Villarreal left winger lashed it home. It was his third goal at the World Cup.

Two minutes later, Artem Dzyuba touched the ball with his chest, turned and prodded it into the bottom right corner of the net.

Fresh from a 5-0 rout of Saudi Arabia, Russia appeared aggressive at the beginning, trying to dominate the pitch and find some chances in the Egyptian half.
