🧠 Match Summary

vs

Egypt struck first and nearly held on for a famous World Cup upset, but Belgium salvaged a point in a tightly contested Group G clash in Seattle. Emam Ashour broke the deadlock in the 19th minute to give the Pharaohs a deserved early lead, and Egypt's defensive resilience looked set to earn them a stunning result against one of Europe's traditional heavyweights. Belgium, holding 54% possession and generating 15 shots, struggled to find a way through until Mohamed Hany's unfortunate own goal in the 66th minute drew the Red Devils level.

The statistics underlined just how competitive the encounter was — both sides managed three shots on target each, while Egypt's seven corners reflected their energetic, combative display. Referee Ramon Abatti kept a firm grip on proceedings, issuing two yellow cards to each side in a physical but fair contest. A point apiece leaves Group G wide open heading into the later stages.
