It means everything. We’ve seen a whole bunch of “firsts” at this World Cup, and this one was among the most special. Egypt earning their first-ever win on the biggest stage of all. As if he needed any more fuel to his legend, Salah was instrumental in the victory, but there are ten other heroes who will be immortalized too. In the stands and on the pitch, it was an incredibly emotional evening for the Egyptians, and it’s one of the most moving matches we’ve had the chance to cover at this World Cup. 📸: amkyros #worldcup2026 #egypt #mosalah #timpayne #sportsphotography
