RIYADH: Egyptian fans most certainly felt a sense of déjà vu while watching Saudi Arabia take on Uruguay. Like Egypt, the Green Falcons took the lead in the first half.

His quick-fire equalizing effort for Belgium, albeit officially recorded as a Mohammed Hany own goal, came just eight seconds after his introduction as a substitute, and it denied the Pharaohs what would have been their first-ever World Cup victory.

With all eyes in the Pacific Northwest on Salah and De Bruyne, it was the ex-Manchester City playmaker that created the first moment of note in the match when he dragged a sharp effort narrowly wide in the seventh minute.
