Salah’s Heroic Strike Seals Egypt’s First World Cup Win in 92 Years

Mohamed Salah produced a stunning winner to help Egypt overcome New Zealand 2-1 and record their first World Cup victory since 1934. New Zealand stunned the Pharaohs early when Finn Surman powered home a header from a corner. Egypt regrouped after half-time and restored parity when Mostafa Zico met a precise Mohamed Hany cross. With momentum shifting, Salah surged down the flank before slotting a calm finish into the far corner. He then delivered the corner that allowed Mahmoud Trezeguet to dive in and seal the historic win.
