Uruguay finally overcame Egypt on Friday afternoon after scoring a last-minute goal to win 1-0 in their first World Cup Group A match of Russia 2018.
Ekaterinburg Arena and its 45m-high temporary stand that stretches outside the stadium saw Uruguay contrive to miss a series of chances before snatching a late winner.
With Mohamed Salah remaining on the substitute’s bench, the Egyptians were unable to muster much of an attacking threat.
Here are the best of the jokes from Egypt 0-1 Uruguay:

Suarez confused what to grab there in pain….foot? leg? head? Hang on, maybe not the head…stick to the foot… #EGYURU
