2018 World Cup: Schedule, scores and updates for Monday's matches

Matchday 3 of the 2018 FIFA World Cup is here. In this third and final match of the group stage, both teams in each group will play simultaneously. This help prevent match fixing by teams and players, stemming back to an incident during the 1982 World Cup.

In the final match of group play that year, Germany and Austria played each other. Algeria was also in their group and had won their third match the day prior. A win by Austria or a draw would have seen Austria and Algeria advance. But a win by Germany would have sent Germany and Austria through. 

Germany took a 1-0 lead early in the match. After that, both the Austirans and the Germans merely passed the ball around with no apparent desire to score. It was a lazy match that resulted in boos and the subsequent scheduling change.

Saudi Arabia 2 – 1 Egypt

Mathematically, both Saudi Arabia and Egypt cannot advance past the group stage. But neither team let up. In the dying seconds of stoppage time, Saudi Arabia got a late goal to get their first World Cup win since 1994.

Mohamed Salah got Egypt on the board in the 22nd minute. After receiving a long ball, he toe-poked it over the keeper from the top of the box. Saudi Arabia were awarded two penalties in the first half. The first was saved by Essam El-Hadary. The second was well placed at the close of the first 45 minutes. The two are tied at the half.

The two sides continued to battle back and forth until literally the last minute. Never letting up, Salem Al Dawsari found a cross and one-timed a shot just past the Egyptian keeper for the game winner. 

While both teams were eliminated, Saudi Arabia leaves Russia with a bit more pride from the victory. Egypt returns home still winless in World Cup play.

Uruguay 3 – 0 Russia

Uruguay wins Group A, will face Portugal

Uruguay won all three of their group stage matches and wins Group A. They will play the Group B runner-up, which will be determined after the late matches today.

Uruguay started off strong as Luis Suarez got his second of the World Cup in the 10th minute. After a Yuri Gazinskly yellow card gave Uruguay a free kick just outside the box, they pulled off a brilliant set piece. Movement on the wall got the Russian defenders to move leaving Suarez a clear shot directly on goal. He buried it in the bottom corner. 

Diego Laxalt took a corner kick rebound from distance which got a lucky deflection from a Russian defender to put Uruguay up by two. 

Russian defender Igor Smolnikov could not keep up with the Uruguay attack. He tackled Matías Vecino a bit too aggressively, earning a yellow card. But then hauled down Laxalt just nine minutes later for a second yellow and an ejection. At halftime, Russia was down two goals and also down a man.

After a 90th minute corner kick shot was blocked by Russian keeper, Edinson Cavani beat Luis Suarez to the rebound to put the icing on the cake for Uruguay. They won easily, 3-0, and will now face the runner up of Group B in the knockout stage. 

With the loss, Russia finishes second in Group A and will play the Group B winner.

Spain 2 – 2 Morocco

Morocco took the lead in the 14th minute. Poor passing in the back led to a Morocco turnover. Khalid Boutaib wasted no time cutting in behind one-on-one with The Spanish keeper DeGea. Boutaib made no mistake shooting the ball through DeGea's legs for the opening goal.

Spain reclaimed the lead just 5 minutes later with much better passing. Iniesta had the assist as Isco finished with precision.

In the 81st minute, Morocco re-took the lead off a corner kick and looked headed for an upset.

But Spain came back with a free kick in stoppage time. Initially called on the offside, The video assistant referee overturned the inital call, noting the Iago Aspas was, in fact, onside for Spain. That goal made it 2-2. Spain stole a last-minute draw to win the group.
