A historic subplot

Hossam Hassan was part of Egypt’s 1990 World Cup squad under the late Mahmoud El-Gohary. His goal against Algeria sealed qualification that year, and his contribution led to Pharaohs’ only goal of the tournament — a penalty earned against the Netherlands.

Now, 35 years later, he stands on the brink of another piece of history.
