Mo Salah’s Egypt meet Chris Wood’s New Zealand at BC Place in Vancouver, with both teams looking to break away from the Group G bottleneck after all four sides opened their World Cup 2026 campaigns with draws.
Although Egypt performed well, especially defensively, in their opener against Belgium, they led for nearly two-thirds of the match before an own goal by Mohamed Hany, arguably caused by the impact of Romelu Lukaku’s introduction, brought Belgium level.
Still, they’ll be pleased with how their defence marshalled a disciplined low block, spearheaded by centre-back Mohamed Abdelmonem. Hossam Hassan’s men will hope to replicate that performance as Mo Salah looks to secure his first-ever World Cup victory with Egypt.
New Zealand, meanwhile, entered the tournament as the lowest-ranked team in the field but stood up impressively to 20th-ranked Iran in a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Elijah Just.
