Egypt

Egypt's strongest team-level pattern is a mix of heavy defensive disruption against Belgium and possession-heavy control that still did not produce big chances against Iran.

The Iran match opened with a saved penalty and an equalizer, leaving an early swing.

Salah and Mostafa Ziko drove the decisive final-third link-up that produced two goals and multiple attacking actions against New Zealand.

Egypt's opening goal against Belgium came from a Salah-assisted transition sequence during a shotless opponent window.

Egypt's tackle-and-interception volume materially constrained Belgium's buildup in the early phases, though the claim stops short of proving a low block.

Marwan Attia sat behind Egypt's best sustained central buildup, with his deep involvement matching the team's possession and final-third pass edge.

Salah was Egypt's main end-product and creation source, pairing a goal, an assist, and five key passes in New Zealand.

Ziko shared the decisive final-third link-up with Salah and was part of the pair that produced two goals against New Zealand.

Hany combined heavy defensive workload with distribution and was Egypt's most notable individual performer in the Iran data.

Egypt's possession and pass volume against Iran did not turn into big chances or efficient shot quality.

The halftime reset produced only modest short-term shot and xG output, so the change did not create a clear attacking jump.
