Egypt stunned Belgium with explosive early breakthrough during their high stakes World Cup opener in Seattle on Monday.

The Pharaohs did not waste any time establishing their presence on the global stage. In the 19 minute of the first half, midfield engine Emam Ashour latched onto a brilliant offensive sequence to slot the ball home sending the stadium into absolute pandemonium.

The live match which has currently crossed the 26 minute mark is rapidly transforming into a highly physical, tactical war.

Both squads are fighting tooth and nail to seize control of the central channels forcing the referee to manage the pitch with a very firm hand.
