Egypt’s manager, Hossam Hassan, has vowed not to watch another minute of the World Cup after feeling his side “suffered an injustice” against Argentina as Lionel Messi inspired a miraculous comeback from two goals down.
Egypt took an early lead through Yasser Ibrahim and thought they had doubled their advantage early in the second half, only for Mostafa Ziko’s goal to be disallowed for a foul by Marwan Attia in the buildup. Ziko made it 2-0 soon after before Cristian Romero pulled one back for Argentina and Messi equalised, in the process scoring his eighth goal of the tournament and 21st in the World Cup.
