　　From BBC

　　The 2018 World Cup opened in spectacularfashion as Russia defiedtheir recent poor form to score five past Saudi Arabia and record the biggest win by the host nationin the opening game of a World Cup since 1934.

　　Stanislav 's team had not won in their past seven matches and had been criticised from all sides, including a series of barbedcomments from Russian president Vladimir Putin.

　　But in front of a largely partisancrowd of 78,011 at the Luzhniki Stadiumthey never looked in danger against a naïve Green Falcons' side that seemed only too willing to gift possessionto their opponents.

　　A completely unmarkedYuri Gazinsky headed his first goal for Russia before substituteDenis Cheryshev evadedseveral weak challenges and smashed homeat the near post close to half-time.

　　The tempo slowed and the atmosphere flattenedafter the restart, giving the whole thing the feel of a friendly match.

　　But substitute Artem Dzyuba illuminateda match of often dubiousquality with a precise headerto extend his team's lead just minutes after replacing Fedor Smolov.

　　And as the match moved into injury timethe impressive Cheryshev smashed home with a crisp strike into the top corner before the superb Aleksandr curled a free-kickaround the wall.

　　It put the seal ona sensational and unexpected start to the World Cup for the hosts - and gives them a real chance of qualifying from the group stage.
