New Zealand 2 Egypt 1: All Whites Stun the Pharaohs in Vancouver

[Cass82]

New Zealand beat Egypt 2-1 in Vancouver last night. Elijah Just scored twice. Chris Wood was the focal point. Egypt had Mohamed Salah and could not find an equaliser. The All Whites are top of Group G on four points. Belgium and Iran are below them on two points each. New Zealand at their first World Cup since 2010 are genuinely competing. The match was not a fluke. New Zealand were organised brave and clinical. Egypt had the better individual quality on paper and lost to a team playing as a unit. Salah couldn't find the net. Just could. Sometimes football is beautifully simple.

Elijah Just with two goals in the tournament already. That's more than Salah. Nobody saw that coming

[GoldbergFan]

New Zealand top of their group at the World Cup. Genuinely remarkable sentence to be typing

[Brittle Ronan]

Egypt with Salah Marmoush and genuine quality losing to New Zealand is a significant upset

[Neuer]

The All Whites playing as a proper team rather than hoping one star carries them. That's the New Zealand identity

[WWEHarry78]

Group G is completely chaotic. New Zealand top. Belgium and Iran on two points. Final round is a proper thriller

[CrimsonNova71]

Chris Wood at 34 playing a World Cup at the top level. The career he's had is remarkable

[MondayMoan]

Egypt can still progress but they need to beat Iran and hope results go their way. From comfortable to desperate

[SuperPosition52]

New Zealand's campaign 2010 was famous for draws. This one is famous for wins. Different energy entirely

[Tracey]

The atmosphere in Vancouver for that match must have been brilliant. Two desperate teams in a beautiful city

[ClientPilgrim]

Belgium vs New Zealand in the final round is now a genuine contest not a walkover. Belgium are terrified
