Egypt 3–1 New Zealand seals All Whites World Cup exit
Egypt 3–1 New Zealand in the final group match, and the All Whites go home. Mo Salah struck to put Egypt ahead, and his side all but sealed progression to the last 32 with the win (1). "In years to come, we will remember that this was one of the achievements in history," Salah said afterwards. New Zealand exit a World Cup campaign that already saw a 5–1 defeat to Belgium confirm their elimination, and the focus now shifts to Darren Bazeley's uncertain future.
