Egypt earned an important point in their World Cup opener after drawing 1-1 with Belgium in Group G.
Emam Ashour put Egypt ahead in the 19th minute with a powerful strike, giving the Pharaohs an early advantage against a Belgian side that controlled possession for long spells without finding a first-half breakthrough.
Romelu Lukaku made an immediate impact after coming on in the second half, helping force the equaliser that went in off Mohamed Hany in the 66th minute.
Both teams had late chances, while Egypt felt they had a strong penalty appeal, but the match ended level as Hossam Hassan's side turned their focus to the next group game against New Zealand.
