Seattle’s Lumen Field exploded as Egypt and Iran battled to a chaotic
1-1 draw. Early strikes from Saber and Rezaeian set a blistering pace,
while Mostafa Shobeir’s heroic penalty save kept Egypt alive. Tensions peaked in
stoppage time when a late Iranian winner was cruelly overruled by VAR.
With Salah substituted early, Group G remains wide open and dangerously unpredictable.
