Sinking 🇪🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇴 @EisakuOtomoHas marmoush ever had a single good game for Egypt?? Ad A fan listed a number of areas in which the forward was lacking before asking why he had not been taken off. Ł🇫🇷🇪🇬 @lamzsznMarmoush isn’t pressing, isn’t creating chances, barely even touching the ball and when he does, nothing happens.

What is he still doing on the pitch?? Ad Another fan also pointed out that the fact that Manchester City overpaid for the forward is not spoken about enough. Laurie @LFCLaurieCity spending £65m on Marmoush and handing him £300k per week goes under the radar more than it should do.

Ad Omar Marmoush was on the pitch for 105 minutes and was substituted after the first half of extra-time. The forward created one chance and attempted two shots, neither of which was on target. He also missed a big chance and won just 25% of his duels in the game.

Marmoush failed to find the net once more, extending his goal drought for club and country to eight games. Coach Hossam Hassan will hope to have the forward back among the goals in Egypt's next game in the FIFA World Cup, a Round of 16 meeting with Argentina or Cape Verde. Ad Egypt records FIFA World Cup first in win over Australia Egypt have become the latest side to win their Round of 32 game after a penalty shootout triumph over Australia.

The Pharaohs prevailed on penalties after their encounter ended in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes of football. They opened the scoring in the FIFA World Cup game through Emam Ashour after just 13 minutes. They held their lead until just five minutes into the second half, when Mohamed Hany turned the ball into his own net for a second time in this tournament.

Neither side scored any more goals, and the game went to a penalty shootout. Australia's Harry Souttar and Lucas Herrington missed their shots while Egypt maintained a 100% record with their kicks, with Hossam Abdelmaguid scoring the decisive kick. × Was this article helpful?
