Both Saudi Arabia and Egypt would play this game for pride since neither of the teams did what was necessary to play in the knockout stages by losing two games consecutively in this world cup. Saudi Arabia was favourites to finish behind everyone in the group and they lived up to it but the surprise was that Mo Salah led Egypt were expected to go to the Round of 16 at least given they have the phenomenal star Mohamed Salah in their attack but he missed out on their first game and he didn’t do much as they lost to Russia 3-1.
