The Saudi Arabian Football team is safe and no one was injured when the plane in which they were travelling caught fire. The Saudi Football Federation has declared that there was no problem for the players and they have landed safely at the Rostov on Don Airport. It may be noted that the Saudis lost to Russia in the opening match earlier.
The team had a narrow escape when one of the engines caught fire and faced trouble while landing. The reason was that a bird hit the engine and it is supposed to be the cause for the fire according to the preliminary reports.
The Rossiya airlines stated that there was a technical fault in one of the engines and the pilot drove the plane to safety with one of the engines. The bird hit is said to be the cause for the fire.
