In a match where the Russian supporters were brought down to Earth, the South Americans thrashed host nation Russia 3-0 as they qualified to the knockout stages as the leaders of Group A.In a match completely dominated by the Uruguayans, it Luis Suarez who registered his second goal of the tournament with a cunningly taken low freekick just outside the box. As destiny would have it was Denis Cheryshev the hero of both the previous matches for Russia who directed a Laxalt shot into his own goal. A red card for Smolinokov for 2 unnecessary challenges saw Russians being brought down to 10 men with all of these actions taking place in the first half of the match.The second half of the match saw the Le Celesta slowing down their game and started toying with their opponents. Even though Russia had its chances of getting back into this match a 90th-minute goal from Edinson Cavani saw the match ending 3-0 in favour of the South Americans.This is how Twitter reacted to this match:Group A Winners 🇺🇾 #URURUS pic.twitter.com/o8YmX8mh4S— Football Daily (@footballdailyuk) June 25, 20183-0 Final for #URU as they win all 3 matches and collect a perfect 9 points. #RUS and #URU are both through to the round of 16! #URURUS #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/8YWiLwaN0Y— Football Home 🏆 (@FootballHomeUK) June 25, 2018Uruguay,Thank You for Humbling Russia#URU 3-0 #RUS #URURUS pic.twitter.com/ikfvJ0mplN— Lerato Mbongo (@AndImLee) June 25, 20181 - Igor Smolnikov is the first outfield player to be sent off for the host nation of a World Cup since Marcel Desailly for France in 1998 (v Brazil).
