Egypt's Mohamed Salah consoles Australia after Mohamed Hany's second World Cup own goal

During the World Cup 2026 round‑of‑32 match between Egypt and Australia, defender Mohamed Hany inadvertently put the ball into his own net for a second time in the tournament, becoming only the second player in World Cup history to record two own goals, the first being Bulgaria’s Todor Vutsov in 1966. The match ended 1‑1 after the own goal.

Egypt captain Mohamed Salah later scored a decisive penalty, celebrated with a characteristic grin, and after the game walked over to console the Australian players, offering hugs and words of encouragement. He also addressed the media, noting his leadership role and the emotional moments of the match.
