Belgium starts with a draw against Egypt

The Belgium national football team drew 1-1 with Egypt in the opening match of Group G at the World Cup in Seattle. Egypt took the lead in the 20th minute through Emam Ashour, but Belgium equalized in the second half when a goal was scored against Egyptian player Mohamed Hany, who was trying to prevent the ball from reaching Romelu Lukaku. Both teams are currently tied at the top of Group G with one point each after the first round of matches.

A Bélgica, 9.ª no ranking da FIFA, foi mais uma das selecções de topo a ter uma entrada em falso neste Mundial 2026 (à semelhança de outras como os Países Baixos ou a Espanha). A cumprir a sua 15.ª participação e quarta consecutiva num Campeonato do Mundo, a equipa agora orientada por Rudi Garcia ficou-se por um empate a um golo frente ao Egipto, no jogo inaugural do Grupo G, disputado em Seattle.

Os egípcios, a disputarem o seu quarto Mundial e liderados em campo por Mohamed Salah, adiantaram-se no marcador aos 20 minutos, por Emam Ashour, mas os belgas igualaram na segunda metade, aos 66', com um golo na própria baliza de Mohamed Hany, ao tentar evitar que a bola chegasse a Lukaku, que tinha entrado em campo apenas 28 segundos antes.

Durante o primeiro tempo, o Egipto fez apenas dois remates à baliza contrária, mas ambos enquadrados (e um deu golo), enquanto a Bélgica não foi capaz de colocar à prova o guarda-redes Mostafa Shoubir nas oito tentativas que realizou. Na segunda parte a Bélgica forçou o ataque e empurrou o Egipto para a sua área, embora a selecção africana tenha estado muito perto do segundo golo um par de vezes, uma deles com Salah a obrigar Courtois a uma grande defesa.

Belgas e egípcios estão assim provisoriamente na frente do Grupo, com um ponto, numa primeira jornada que encerra com o Irão-Nova Zelândia, às 2h00 do dia 16, em Los Angeles.
