Saudi Arabia beats Egypt 2-1 at World Cup

VOLGOGRAD, Russia (AP) — The oldest person to play in a World Cup match gave up a pair of goals Monday, allowing Saudi Arabia to beat Egypt 2-1 in a game between two teams that had already been eliminated. Egypt goalkeeper Essam El Hadary, who is 45, took the field for his team's final group match to set the record. Although he gave up the two goals, he also saved a penalty in the first half. Salem Aldawsari scored with almost the last kick of the match for the Saudis, shooting from a tight angle inside the Egypt penalty area and poking the ball past El Hadary. Mohamed Salah had put Egypt ahead in the 22nd minute when he deftly controlled a long ball from Abdalla Said that split the Saudi defense and then lobbed goalkeeper Yasser Almosailem. It was Egypt's first goal in open play at the World Cup since 1934. Salman Alfaraj got the Saudis level with a penalty kick in first-half stoppage time after Ali Gabr brought down Fahad Almuwallad in the area.Read more on NewsOK.com

  • Nearly full-strength Avalanche looks like contender in win against defending champions
    Denver Post, Saturday - 11/23/2024 - 08:57 PM

    SUNRISE, Fla. — The Colorado Avalanche showed off its sublime collection of skill, increased depth and ability to play beautiful hockey against the defending Stanley Cup champions on Saturday night. Some of the Avs’ early-season flaws were also on display at Amerant Arena. In the end, Colorado needed a great third period from its goaltender and contributions from nearly the entire lineup to collect a 7-4 win against the Florida Panthers. It didn’t always look great, but the Avs have won seven of their last nine games and 12 of 17 since an 0-4 start. “I think we’re pretty happy with the lineup we’re playing now,” Avs coach Jared Bednar said.
