Late goal gives Saudi Arabia deserved 2-1 win over Egypt

A goal from Mohamed Alburayk with the last kick of the game gave Saudi Arabia a 2-1 win over Egypt in the final game of the 2018 World Cup finals for both sides in the Volgograd Arena on Monday.

Mohamed Salah had opened the scoring for Egypt midway through the first half, but a penalty from by Salman Alfaraj in the sixth minute of first half injury time levelled matters and the game had looked to be heading for a draw until the late goal.

The game saw Egypt keeper Essam El Hadary make World Cup history when he became the oldest player to appear in the final stage aged 45 years and five months and he saved a first half penalty from Fahad Almuwallad and produced several excellent stops in the second half but could do nothing to prevent Alburayk's late finish.
