Egypt made history by securing their first-ever FIFA World Cup victory, coming from behind to defeat New Zealand 3-1 in a crucial Group G clash. Mohamed Salah played a starring role, scoring once and creating another as the Pharaohs overturned an early deficit. New Zealand had taken the lead through Finn Surman, but tactical adjustments by manager Hossam Hassan sparked a remarkable turnaround. The win puts Egypt on course for a historic first qualification to the knockout stage. #Egypt #MohamedS
