Russia 2018 World Cup: Jose Gimensi's Header Snatches Victory For Uruguay Over Egypt

It previously looked more like it was going to end in a draw until Uruguay managed to get in a goal late into the match and beat Egypt 0-1 in their Group A opening match. 

The Pharaoh played without their hitman and Liverpool forward Mo Salah whose expression said it all when Jose Gimensi sunk in a goal with a header after Sanchez looped over a cross to his reach in the 6-yarrd box in 90th minutes.

Minutes before Jose scored the winning goal, Edison Cavani came close to netting an opener with a shot from out the box and Egypt goalie Mohamed Elshenawy was up to the task as he brilliantly saved the ball with one hand.
