Egypt vs. Uruguay 2018 World Cup: Surprisingly scoreless at halftime

Uruguay has had the bulk of the possession and none of Egypt’s few chances have been all that worrisome for La Celeste, but it was a fairly uninspired 45 minutes from the favorites. There wasn’t much creativity on any of their chances from the wings, and the Pharaohs have been able to parry them away with ease. Suarez’s frustration, sparked by his missed gimme, seemed to build as the half wore on.

Egypt gets a turn

Trezeguet gets into the box and sends one on Fernando Muslera, but it’s stopped. Egypt looking stout so far, even without Salah.

Uruguay comes close

Edinson Cavani, who went down clutching his ankle a few minutes earlier, sent a low strike toward goal in the ninth minute, but Mohamed Elshenawy dived to stop it. Uruguay’s first good chance.
