Egypt coach Hector Cuper believes that his side were unfortunate not to get a positive result in Tuesday’s 3-1 defeat to Russia.
The Pharaohs desperately needed the victory against the hosts at Saint Petersburg Stadium in order to keep qualification ambitions alive, but Ahmed Fathi's own goal plus strikes from Denis Cheryshev and Artem Dzyuba put them on the verge of an early exit.
Cuper during the post-match conference said luck was against his team as they got punished for the ‘few minutes’ they made.
