Russia beat Egypt 3-1 in St. Petersburg in their second match of the World Cup and are all but guaranteed a spot in the Round of 16.

"Although the fans were emotional, they stayed calm and respectful to each other. No violations of public order were reported, thanks to the efficient functioning of all services, all security and city agencies," Chernikov said.

Stanislav Cherchesov's men, who thrashed Saudi Arabia 5-0 in their first match, will next play Uruguay in Samara on June 25 in their final Group A game.

The World Cup will continue until July 15, with the matches set to be played across 11 Russian cities.
