Mo Salah’s Egypt face 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 opening game against Belgium, they led for almost two-thirds of the game before an own goal by Mohamed Hany, presumably caused by the impact of Romelu Lukaku’s introduction, brought Belgium level.
Still, they will be pleased with how their defense organized a disciplined low block, led by centre-back Mohamed Abdelmonem. Hossam Hassan’s men will be hoping to repeat that performance as Mo Salah looks to secure his first ever World Cup win with Egypt.
New Zealand, meanwhile, entered the tournament as the lowest-ranked team in the field, but impressively stood up to 20th-placed Iran in a 2-2 draw thanks to goals from Elijah Just.
