Three Muslim national teams entered the fray at the World Cup.
First, Egypt battled Belgium. The match opened with a beautiful goal by Emam Ashour.
In the 66th minute, star Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku came on as a substitute and organised a goal just 21 seconds later.
It seemed like the Napoli player himself scored with his first touch. But it turned out to be an own goal. The Belgian pressed two Egyptian defenders, and Mohamed Hany deflected the ball into his own net — 1:1.
Uruguay drew with the same score — 1:1 — against Saudi Arabia, also having to come from behind.
Iran — New Zealand — 2:2. For New Zealand, Elijah Just, a player for Scottish 'Motherwell', scored a brace. This is already the fourth brace at the World Cup.
Recall that yesterday Spain and Cape Verde also drew — 0:0.
Today at the World Cup — a super match: France — Senegal (start at 22:00 Minsk time).
At the 2002 World Cup, the Senegalese sensationally and beautifully reached the quarterfinals, and this winter won the Africa Cup, but the victory was taken away three months later and awarded to Morocco, which caused a scandal and widespread public outcry.
