Egypt’s World Cup opener spark comes with a memorable Arabic goal call
Egypt got the start it could hardly have imagined in the 2026 World Cup, with an early goal from Imam Ashour against Belgium. Ashour struck with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, giving Egypt an immediate lift in the match.
The Sports 5 item focused less on the match itself than on the broadcast moment that followed. It noted that Arabic-language goal calls are especially enjoyable to hear, and pointed readers to the video player above to listen to the commentary of Ashour’s strike.
The report was published by Sports 5 on June 15, 2026, at 22:37. No final score or further match details were provided in the text, which mainly highlighted the dramatic opening goal and the reaction of the Arabic commentator.
