Own goal ruins great defensive work
Mohamed Hany registered an own goal, two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Belgium.
Analysis: Hany stood up to the challenge of facing Jeremy Doku, one of the world's most dangerous wingers, and dealt with Leonardo Trossard well too during the periods when the two rotated. He won five of his six tackles and contributed one interception, two clearances, two shots and one cross in a well-rounded display. The only blot on his evening was an unfortunate own goal, when a quick cross into the area touched off him as he tracked Romelu Lukaku with little he could have done to prevent it.
Highly involved at right-back
Hany is expected to feature as Egypt's main right-back or right wing-back option throughout the World Cup, offering consistent minutes during the tournament.
Analysis: Hany heads into the summer event as one of the most reliable starters in the Egyptian setup, having played more games than any other defender on the squad at AFCON 2025 with six appearances. His attacking output has been particularly encouraging in the pre-tournament window, as he has registered two assists across the last four international friendlies while creating seven open-play chances for teammates during World Cup qualifying and four more at AFCON. While it remains unclear how much freedom he'll have to attack if Egypt stick with the back-four system they used in practice matches, he could retain the most significant assisting potential among the team's defenders. Egypt's recent form is somewhat encouraging for their clean sheet chances, although they'll face tough opposition in the initial match versus Belgium before moving to more favorable contests against New Zealand and Iran.
