Saudi Arabia scored a stoppage time goal to sink Egypt 2-1 in their final group game at the World Cup in Russia on Monday. Both team had already been eliminated, but the victory helped Saudi Arabia save face after defeats by Russia and Uruguay in its first two games. Egypt could take consolation in talismanic player Mohamed Salah’s return to form after scoring his team sole goal. It could also boast Essam El Hadary, the goalkeeper who became the older player ever to appear at a World Cup. He marked his record achievement with one outstanding penalty save for Egypt but was powerless to stop a second. The 45-year-old goalkeeper flew to his right to make a spectacular stop in the 39th minute from Fahad Al-Muwallads spot-kick, awarded for handball, at the Volgograd Arena. But Saudi Arabia scored deep into stoppage time in both halves, with Salem Al-Dawsaris last-gasp winner securing their first World Cup victory since a run to the last 16 in 1994. Egypt leave the tournament without recording a single win in the finals in three appearances. El Hadary smashed the age record set by Colombia goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon, who was aged 43 years and three days when he played against Japan in Brazil in 2014. Salah was named in the starting line-up as expected and thrilled an Egyptian-dominated crowd of 36,823 by opening the scoring in trademark fashion after 22 minutes. The 26-year-old controlled a long ball over the top with one touch of his left boot at pace and did not break stride before lobbing a deft finish with the same foot over the onrushing goalkeeper Yasser Al-Mosailem. The Egyptians were still clinging onto their lead when the Saudis were awarded a controversial second penalty deep into first-half stoppage time as Fahad appeared to pull the shirt of the covering Ali Gabr before going down in a heap. But after a VAR-induced review that took almost five minutes to complete, Colombian referee Wilmar Roldan decided to stick with his original decision. It was second time lucky from the spot as Salman Al-Faraj took responsibility from 12 yards and El Hadary could not repeat his heroics as the first-half clock ticked past 51 minutes. El Hadary made his debut for Egypt in 1996, a year before his Egyptian teammate Ramadan Sobhi was born. He is older than three coaches at Russia 2018 -- Roberto Martinez of Belgium, Serbias Mladen Krstajic and Aliou Cisse of Senegal. The Pharoahs captain lived up to his nickname of "High Dam" with two stunning saves from headers in the second half. But in the fifth minute of second-half injury-time, Al-Dawsari popped up in the box to beat El Hadary with the last kick of the match and secure a famous Saudi win.
