Mohamed Salah scored the go-ahead goal as Egypt went on to defeat New Zealand 3-1 and secure their first ever World Cup win.
Salah celebrated his 68th international goal by pumping his fist before he was mobbed by teammates in the 67th minute, to the thrill of the red-clad Pharaohs fans in the sellout crowd at BC Place Vancouver on Sunday (Monday AEST).
When Salah was subbed off in the 85th minute he was treated to a standing ovation.
