Summary
Argentina face Egypt in a World Cup match that pits Lionel Messi against Mohamed Salah. Egypt, buoyed by their first knockout win against Australia, are seen as a dangerous opponent despite being underdogs. Salah needs one goal to tie his manager's national record of 69, adding personal stakes to the team's collective ambition.
Argentina rely heavily on Messi, who has scored seven goals this summer, but Egypt believe their collective strength can counter the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner. The only previous meeting between the sides was a 2-0 Argentina win in a 2008 friendly. Egypt's coach acknowledged the challenge, saying, 'They have Messi, but we have Salah.'
