Egypt came agonizingly close to securing their first-ever World Cup victory before an unfortunate own goal handed Belgium a share of the points in Seattle.

Despite the disappointment, Egypt delivered a spirited performance and earned only their third non-defeat result in World Cup history. #WorldCup2026 #Egypt #Belgium #Football #FIFA #Sports
