The Spanish “Marca” newspaper reports.Egypt fought harder than expected to win against New Zealand after they again struggled in attack in the first half as they posed no real threat to Crocombe’s goal.

But Hossam Hasan’s battalion produced a comprehensive second half in which they turned the tide, achieving what all previous generations failed to do, which was to win a World Cup match.

He noted that several names such as Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmouche and Imam Ashour appeared among Canada’s heroes of the night, but they stood out alongside two players who have two nicknames that do not correspond to their real names, namely “Zico” and “Trezeguet”.
