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
