Egypt defender Mohamed Hany makes unwanted history at the World Cup by scoring two own-goals in the same tournament. Multiple outlets report that his own goals occur in a match against Australia, leading to a record-setting moment in World Cup competition. The Winnipeg Free Press and other sources state that Hany is the first player in World Cup history to record two own-goals during a single World Cup. Fox Sports and the Jamaica Gleaner similarly describe the feat as a first in the tournament’s history, emphasizing that no other player has previously been credited with two own-goals in the same World Cup. The reports agree that the distinction is based on World Cup records rather than a broader measure across all competitions, and they identify Hany as the player responsible for both own-goal incidents. The match and tournament context remain consistent across coverage, with the focus on the rarity of the event and its place in World Cup statistics.
