Egypt's Emam Ashour delivered a moment to remember at the FIFA World Cup 2026, netting a stunning long-range effort to hand the Pharaohs the lead against Belgium in their Group G clash at Seattle Stadium.

The strike was Ashour's first-ever goal at a World Cup, a landmark moment for the midfielder as Egypt made their mark on the tournament's opening stages.

Ashour unleashed the effort from distance, leaving the Belgian goalkeeper with no chance as the ball flew into the net — sparking jubilation among Egypt's supporters inside the stadium.

The goal gave Egypt an early advantage in what promises to be a fiercely competitive Group G, with Belgium among the heavyweight European sides standing between the African nations and the knockout rounds.
