To your attention the review of the day of World Cup 2018 for June 19.

Their first matches at the World Cup 2018 held all 32 teams. The last teams that got into Group H started, and the results of these matches were a complete surprise for all. Japan and Senegal are ranked 61st and 27th in the FIFA World Ranking, but this did not prevent them from defeating Colombia and Poland, which occupy respectively the 16th and 8th places.

Of course, you need to take into account that the "blue samurai" played the whole match in full force, while the Colombians already in the third minute were removed by Carlos Sanchez - this is the second fastest card in the world championship matches after the removal of Uruguayan Jose Batista in 1986. But the main thing is that they were able to collect, when the Colombians equalized the score, and score the winning goal. For the first time in the history of world championships, the Asian team won the South American: in previous meetings 3 times were drawn, and 15 times won by representatives of the New World.

Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria and Tunisia were defeated, and only "Teranga lions" managed to earn three points in the first round of the group stage.

It should be noted that the opponent also made it easier for them: first Thiago Chonec corrected the ball into his own net, and then, giving the transfer back, Grzegorz Kryhovyak was rudely mistaken, and Mbaye Niang scored the second goal.

Russia planned to develop the success achieved in the opening match, and Egypt, defeated by Uruguay in the first game, was determined to improve the situation.

Help "Pharaoh" was returned after the injury, Mohammed Salah. Again, the result of the match refuted the forecasts based on the FIFA World Rankings: the 70th team confidently outplayed the 45th, including taking advantage of its mistakes - the account was opened by Ahmed Fathi, who scored in his own net. Having scored six points and scoring eight goals in two games, the Russians practically ensured themselves an exit into the playoffs.
