Egypt have earned the first World Cup win in their history by beating New Zealand 3-1, putting them on track to reach the knockout round for the first time.
Mohamed Salah, Mostafa Zico and Trezeguet were Egypt’s other scorers after Finn Surman had given New Zealand the lead after 15 minutes of the Group G match in Vancouver.
Salah celebrated his 68th international goal by pumping his fist before he was mobbed by his teammates in the 67th minute, to the thrill of the red-clad Pharaohs fans in the sellout crowd at BC Place Vancouver.
When Salah was subbed off in the 85th minute, he was treated to a standing ovation.
