FIFA WC 2026: Egypt stages comeback to beat New Zealand 3-1 in Group G

Mohamed Salah and Trezeguet inspire Pharaohs to a 3-1 triumph

The former Liverpool forward scored in a 3-1 win over New Zealand, alongside Mostafa Zizo and Trezeguet to catapult the Pharaohs top of Group G.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah scored his first goal of the tournament as part of a second-half flurry to deliver Egypt their first World Cup victory, 3-1 over New Zealand on Sunday night in Vancouver.

Salah celebrated his 68th international goal by pumping his fist before he was mobbed by his teammates in the 67th minute, to the thrill of the red-clad Pharaohs fans in the sellout crowd at BC Place Vancouver.
