Egypt secured a 1–0 victory over Russia in an International Friendly on 28 May, with the hosts' superior shot volume proving decisive. Operating in a 4–2–3–1 formation, Egypt dominated the attempt count with 11 shots to Russia's 8, and crucially converted one of their four shots on target into the winning goal. Russia's 4–3–3 setup offered limited attacking threat, managing just one effort on target throughout the match. Egypt's goalkeeper made a significant contribution, posting a 75 per cent save rate and conceding 1.0 post-shot expected goals, indicating he faced relatively straightforward opportunities. The absence of named goalscorers in the data suggests a relatively quiet attacking display, but Egypt's clinical finishing in open play separated the sides. This victory provides Egypt with positive momentum ahead of their upcoming competitive fixtures.
