The 2026 FIFA World Cup continues to enthral fans with its unpredictable twists and turns. In a dramatic encounter, Egypt overturned a deficit to secure a 2-1 victory against New Zealand. The Kiwis initially took the lead, much to the delight of their supporters, but Egypt's resilience shone through.
