New Zealand vs Egypt

Egypt produced their best performance of the tournament so far, fighting back from an early New Zealand goal to win 3-1 and move top of Group G. Mohamed Salah was once again at the heart of the Pharaohs' attacking play as they overturned the deficit and pulled away in the second half. For New Zealand, the result was a setback after a spirited 2-2 draw with Iran in their opener, with Tim Payne — the breakout social media star of the tournament — and his All Whites teammates unable to build on their bright start. Egypt's win, combined with Belgium and Iran drawing on the same day, leaves Group G finely poised heading into the final round of matches.
