Egypt’s coach Hossam Hassan sees the opening match in the World Cup against Belgium as the most difficult game in the “highly competitive” group G.
Egypt lost 2-1 to five-times champion Brazil in Cleveland on Sunday, in their final warm-up friendly ahead of their fourth appearance in the World Cup.
Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes scored the opening goal early from inside the box and Lyon forward Endrick added in the second half after an assist from Barcelona’s Raphinha. Zico scored for Egypt, while Skipper Mohamed Salah played the second half and seemed to be in good form.
