Day 1:
Russia VS Saudi Arabia. (5-0)
An incredible game with super-sub Denis Cheryshev scoring to absolute bangers. A great start for the home side.
Egypt VS Uruguay (0-1)
An intense game which was admittedly dominated by Uruguay all the way until the end. Uruguay's Jose Giminez put a spectacular goal in seconds before the 89th minute.
Day 2:
Morocco VS Iran (0-1)
A beautiful last-minute header by Mehoi in the 90+4 to seal Iran's win.
Spain VS Portugal (3-3)
An action-packed dramatic game that puts Ronaldo as top goal scorer so far in the World Cup. Four minutes in a penalty was given to Portugal after Ronaldo's run was stopped by a foul tackle. Ronaldo duteously put it away. Diego Costa toyed with Portugal's defence before putting away a magnificent shot in minute 24. Ronaldo slams a shot straight at De Gea from outside the box and the Spaniard lets it slip past him! (minute 44). Diego Costa put away a magnificent header in the 54th minute to make it 2-2. Then just four minutes after Real Madrid defender Nacho redeems himself with a beautiful volley from outside the box after giving away the penalty to Portugal. To finalise the drama in the 88th minute a free kick was placed in the top right hand corner of the goal by Cristiano Ronaldo, sealing his hat-trick.
