Egypt secured their first-ever FIFA World Cup victory with a commanding 3–1 comeback win over New Zealand in Vancouver in their Group G clash this morning.
After going behind in the first half, Egypt responded strongly after the break, with Mostafa Zizo leveling the score before Mohamed Salah put the Pharaohs ahead with a well-taken finish. Salah later turned provider, assisting Trezeguet’s late header to seal the result.
The win marks a historic milestone for Egypt, ending their long wait for a first World Cup victory and sending them to the top of Group G with four points.
