Luis Suarez fired Uruguay into an early lead against Russia with a rasping free-kick at the Samara Arena in Samara.
Russia conceded a free-kick on the edge of the box and Suarez stepped up and fired the ball along the ground and into the back of the net.
Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev initially takes a step to his right before diving back to the left to no avail.
The goal marks Suarez's second goal of the tournament after he opened his account with the only goal in a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

Uruguay then extended their lead to 2-0 in the 23rd minute when Diego Laxalt's shot took a deflection to drift past goalkeeper Denis Cheryshev.

A win for Uruguay will see them top Group H on nine points with La Celeste potentially slated to play the runners up of Group B which will be either Spain, Portugal or Iran.
