Egypt secured their first-ever World Cup win by defeating New Zealand 3-1 in a Group G match. This victory places them in a strong position to advance to the knockout stage for the first time.
Egypt earned the first World Cup win in their history by beating New Zealand 3-1 on Sunday, putting them on track to reach the knockout round for the first time.
Mohamed Salah, Mostafa Zico and Trezeguet were Egypt’s scorers after Finn Surman had given New Zealand the lead after 15 minutes of the Group G match in Vancouver.
The victory puts the Pharaohs top of the group on four points and needing just a draw against Iran in Seattle on Friday to move into the last 32.
Salah’s goal came after he exchanged passes with Zico – named after the Brazilian legend – and then curled in a shot with his left foot in the 67th minute.
Salah then provided the assist for substitute Trezeguet – who himself is named after former France forward David Trezeguet – to make the game safe with a low header.
“In years to come we will remember that this was one of the achievements in history,” Salah said.
