“Two squads looking for their first ever World Cup win oozing passion, but in the end, it was Egypt who claimed their first win in their 9th attempt. At first, it looked like New Zealand were gonna claim their first ever win, but an improved flow and cohesion on the attacking side ripped this game away from the Kiwis and handed it to the Pharaohs of Egypt This game started as a back and forth affair with no clear team in advantage. After about 10 minutes of that, it was New Zealand who looked more threatening and the Kiwis struck first with a header from Surman assisted by Mr. Least popular World Cup player, Tim Payne. New Zealand remained in control for the rest of the half and it certainly felt like they were gonna win. Even when Egypt scored, still felt like the Kiwis could have it. Then Mo Salah finally had his moment, scoring to give Egypt the lead and later assisting the 2nd goal in an iconic performance. The Kiwis never had a chance after that and Egypt cruised to a 1st victory.”
