Who is the Man of the Match in Egypt’s 1-1 Draw Against Belgium?

Emam Ashour was named Man of the Match after delivering an impressive performance in Egypt's 1-1 draw with Belgium at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Egyptian midfielder opened the scoring in spectacular fashion in the 19th minute, giving the Pharaohs a dream start in a match that saw them push one of Europe's top sides all the way.

Egypt looked on course for a famous victory, but Belgium found a response after the introduction of Romelu Lukaku. The striker's immediate impact forced pressure on defender Mohamed Hany, whose unfortunate own goal brought Belgium level.

Despite being denied all three points, Egypt held firm to secure a valuable draw, with Ashour’s performance earning him the Man of the Match award.
