Samara, Shawwal 11, 1439, Jun 25, 2018, SPA -- Uruguay were comfortable 3-0 winners over 10-man Russia in Samara on Monday to finish top of Group A at the World Cup. Scores from Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani sandwiched Denis Cheryshev's own goal in a match of previously unbeaten sides already qualified for the knockout stages, dpa reported. Russia finished a man down after Igor Smolnikov was shown his second yellow card in the 39th minute. Uruguay will face the runner-up from Group B in the last 16, June 30 in Sochi, but the second-placed Russians will now remain in Moscow. They will take on the Group B winner on July 1. Beating all-losing Egypt 2-1 at the same time, Saudi Arabia ranked third of Group A but en route home. --SPA 19:58 LOCAL TIME 16:58 GMT 0031 www.spa.gov.sa/w708040
