New Zealand vs Egypt Live Score: Kiwis, Pharaohs Eye Crucial Win In NZ vs EGY FIFA World Cup 2026 Match In Vancouver

New Zealand vs Egypt Live Score and Updates: New Zealand deservedly ground out a 1-0 lead at half-time against Egypt in their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup Group G clash at BC Place in Vancouver.  The All Whites got the first goal in the 14th minute when defender Finn Surman headed home a well-timed assist from Tim Payne, safely and giving his side the all-important edge. The game became more intense after the first goal with a string of well-timed tackles and cards being issued, with Egypt’s Mohanad Lasheen (16’) and New Zealand’s Sarpreet Singh (19’) and Callum McCowatt (33’) all receiving yellow cards.  Egypt, with Mohamed Salah in the side, never found any fluent attacking rhythm and their tactical plans took a blow in the 40th minute when Hamdy Fathy was replaced by Ramy Rabia with what appeared to be an injury. Indeed, New Zealand have been solid at the back in keeping the Pharaohs at bay.
