Egypt lost the opportunity. Morocco maintains its exceptional achievement

The Moroccan national team maintained a unique Arab achievement at the World Cup, after the Egyptian national team qualified for the second round of their group in the second round of the current season.

Egypt’s national team qualified for the second round for the first time in history after holding Iran to a 1-1 draw in the third round of Group Seven on Saturday morning.

The Pharaohs team finished the group stage in second place with 5 points, behind leaders Belgium on goal difference, while the Iranian team is waiting for its position in the top three (3 points and 0 goal difference).

Egypt’s national team could have topped the group had they beaten their Asian counterparts but settled for a draw as Belgium beat New Zealand 5-1.

Thus, the Moroccan team maintained its achievement of being the only Arab team that managed to lead its group in the World Cup, reports the Opta network.

It happened twice, in 1986 and in 2022.

Meanwhile, Atlas Lions qualified for the second round of the current draw, but with a second-place goal.

In the 2nd round of the World Cup, the representatives of the Arabs are currently considered to be the teams of Morocco and Egypt, and the team of Algeria has a chance to reach them, but will not be able to lead its group.

The highest the Greens can reach in Group 10 is second place with six points if they beat Austria tomorrow morning, as Argentina secured a six-point lead ahead of their clash with Jordan as they outscore Africa and Europe in head-to-head matches.
