Which result changed the tournament most?

Egypt came from 0-1 down at half-time to beat New Zealand 3-1 for the country’s first World Cup victory; Mohamed Salah scored in the 67th minute, and Mostafa Zico and Trezeguet also hit the net. 4

Egypt were trailing at halftime. Then Zico. Then Salah. Then Trezeguet.

3-1 over New Zealand. First World Cup win in national team history.

That’s not just a result — that’s a forever moment.

Cape Verde’s 2-2 draw with Uruguay was one of the loudest shockwaves of the day, while Belgium’s 0-0 with Iran kept Group G pressure high. Egypt moved to four points after the win, with Iran next. 3

Unpopular take: Cape Verde’s 2-2 draw with Uruguay might matter more than Spain’s 4-0 win today.

Because one is dominance. The other is a warning shot to the whole group.
