Egypt is technically out of the 2018 World Cup after losing 3-1 to host nation Russia, their second loss in their group. Talismanic Mohamed Salah scored Egypt lone goal via penalty.  Uruguay which already had three points at the expense of Egypt will play Saudi Arabia on Wednesday in a match they are expected to win.

Moments earlier, Senegal defeated Poland 2-1 in a Group H match at the 2018 FIFA World Cup match held at Moscow’s Spartak Stadium to become the only African team to win a match so far.

Earlier on Tuesday, Japan triumphed over Colombia 2-1 in another Group H game. Senegal and Japan have gained three points each, while Colombia and Poland currently have no points.

On June 24, Senegal will play against Japan in Yekaterinburg, while Poland will meet with Colombia in Kazan.

Russia is holding its first ever edition of the FIFA World Cup, which kicked off in Moscow with a spectacular opening show at the Luzhniki Stadium on June 14. Apart from Moscow, the host cities include St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Saransk, Kaliningrad, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Samara

A total of 32 national football teams are participating in the World Cup, held in 11 cities across Russia between June 14 and July 15

The teams were divided into eight groups, with four in each, and the top two from their relevant groups will proceed to the next round, known as the playoffs or the knockout stage, to keep vying for the much-coveted FIFA World Cup Trophy.
