New Zealand’s All Whites start their World Cup match against Egypt with an early goal, giving supporters hope, but the lead does not hold. Finn Surman scores for the All Whites, sending the game into a hopeful direction for New Zealand. However, Egypt responds and ultimately wins the match. Both reports agree that Mohamed Salah plays a central role in Egypt’s comeback. After Egypt equalises and takes control, the All Whites are unable to recover and their World Cup hopes are ended by the result. The match is played in Vancouver, with the reports describing the All Whites’ goal as early in the contest and highlighting that Egypt’s later performance overturns New Zealand’s advantage. The coverage does not provide further scoring details or the final score, but it clearly reflects the same sequence: early Surman goal for New Zealand, followed by Salah-led Egypt revival and a final outcome that leaves the All Whites eliminated from their tournament ambitions.
