Egypt
Mohamed Salah , despite taking the lead with a goal from the Liverpool star, ended up losing 2-1 in injury time against Saudi Arabia , on Monday in Volgograd, in a match between two teams already eliminated in Group A and in which only the honor of third place was at stake.The defeat against the Saudis also tarnished the record of Egyptian goalkeeper Essam El Hadary, who at 45 years and 161 days became the oldest player to play a World Cup match, surpassing the record of the Colombian Faryd Mondragón (43 years, 3 days). El Hadary had stopped a penalty, before receiving a first goal in another penalty soon after and could not prevent a new defeat for the 'Pharaohs' in injury time.
