Saudi Arabia’s national football team landed safely after one of the engines on the plane carrying the players to a World Cup match appeared to catch fire. Russia’s Rossiya airline, which was carrying the squad from St Petersburg to Rostov-on-Don on Monday, said that the cause of a malfunction with the airplane was likely a bird in the engine. The Saudis were beaten 5-0 by Russia in the World Cup opener in Moscow last week. They now face Uruguay on Wednesday after the South Americans edged Egypt 1-0 in their first game
