The Pharoahs and the Green Falcons were evenly matched in the final game of group A.

Both teams had already been eliminated from the tournament before the match and were playing merely for pride as Saudi Arabia earned their first win at the World Cup since 1994.

The story of the match was Essam El-Hadary, Egypt's 45-year-old goalkeeper who became the oldest World Cup footballer in history, saving a penalty in the first half. 

SAUDI ARABIA 

Yasser Al-Mosailem - 5

One long pass over the Saudi centre backs caused Mosailem to close down the space but Mohammed Salah won the foot race and lobbed him. 

Osama Hawsawi - 5.5

There was no chance the captain could handle the pace of Salah and Mahmoud Trezugeut. He had problems all day, watching the Saudi attack fail to dent Egypt's back line.

Mohammed Al-Breik - 5

Stopped the score getting ugly straight after Salah scored with a last ditch tackle that saved a goal. Peppered further with one-on-ones and Egypt slowly realised he was a weak link. 

Yasser Al-Shahrani - 6

Some early runs forward, winning numerous corners for Saudi Arabia in the first half. Gradually improved as the match wore on. 

Motaz Hawsawi - 6

Showed some frenetic pace to outrun Mohammed Salah on the break and deal with the counter-attack with style. 

Salman Al-Faraj - 6

Played the ball in behind for Fahad Muwallad who ended up winning another penalty for Saudi Arabia to get back into the match. Stepped up and sent El-Hadary the wrong way to level the scores before half-time.
