After a 0-1 loss to Uruguay in the opening match, the Egyptian team lit up hope in the match against host Russia with the return of star Salah, a name that Egyptian fans believe will shine.
However, Salah also suffered the same fate as previous stars such as Messi or Neymar, he was completely locked down by the Russian national team's defense, leaving no space for the 10th in Egypt to show off.
Meanwhile, the Russian Open continues to show an extremely impressive playing style with mobility in the two-way corridor. The Dzyuba striker is used as an extremely dangerous attack in the area in front of the Egyptian Open. Many times, the 1m96 tall striker has put goalkeeper El Shenawy in an alarming state.
If the first half of the two teams played extremely deadlocked, the second half witnessed the explosion of the Russian Open.
In the 47th minute, in an attempt to clear the ball, captain Fathi cautiously sent the ball straight into his own net, helping the Russian team take a 1-0 lead. In a hurry to raise the formation after conceding a goal, the Egyptian team continued to receive another goal in the 59th minute. From a very good combination on the right wing. The ball was brought down close to the cross before being stretched into the penalty area for Cheryshev to finish into the Egyptian Open.
Before he could concentrate after the third goal, goalkeeper El Shenawy's net rocketed for the third time after Dzyuba's delicate shot.
Egypt's subsequent efforts only helped them get the score short to 1-3 on the 11m mark after receiving a penalty. The goalkeeper for the Egyptian national team was Salah.
With the second consecutive victory, the Russian team had a full chance to enter the knockout round. Meanwhile, this defeat is likely to make Salah and his teammates regret saying goodbye to the tournament early.
