Today we saw the return of Mo Salah, but Russia continued its excellent form and destroyed Egypt. Japan pulled off a huge upset and Senegal became the first African nation to get a win in this World Cup.
Colombia vs Japan
This game saw the first red card of the tournament and it came in the third minute for Colombia. The early red gave way for Japan to get an unlikely win.

Poland vs Senegal
These two teams boast deadly offenses, but were slow to get anything going up until halftime. Poland pulled off the worst defending to give up the game-winning goal and the first goal was off of a deflection, just two bad goals is a terrible way to lose.

Africa have their first win at the #WorldCup, collected by the only black coach at a tournament. Aliou Cisse is also the youngest coach at #Russia2018. This story needs to be told over and over again!

Russia vs Egypt
The amazing return of "Egyptian Messi" was spoiled by Russians continuing their great form and smothering Mo Salah.
