VOLGOGRAD, Russia (AP) - The oldest person to play in a World Cup match let in a pair of goals Monday despite some spectacular saves.
El Hadary sets record, Saudis beat Egypt 2-1 at World Cup
Egypt goalkeeper Essam El Hadary, who is 45, took the field for his team's final group match to set the record. Although he saved one penalty, he couldn't stop Saudi Arabia from beating Egypt 2-1 in a game between two teams that had already been eliminated.
Salem Aldawsari scored with almost the last kick of the match for the Saudis, shooting from a tight angle inside the Egypt penalty area and poking the ball past El Hadary.
