😱 Never seen before! Egypt defender makes unwanted history | OneFootball

In 96 years of World Cup history, a lot has happened. A whole lot. But there is always a first time. Egypt defender Mohamed Hany made history in the round of 16 against Australia. He scored his second own goal of the current tournament. 

In the group-stage match against Belgium, the 30-year-old had already found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and inadvertently turned the ball into his own net.

His own goal gave the struggling Australians an equalizer. Before that, the Socceroos had gone more than four hours without scoring in the current tournament. Australia’s last goal had come from Connor Metcalfe in the 75th minute of their World Cup opening win against Turkey. 

It remained 1-1 until the end of regular time, and extra time is currently underway.
