Goalie Essam Al-Hadari became the hero of the episode for his team.

At the 40th minute of the match between Saudi Arabia and Egypt, the ball fell into the hands of the defender of "Pharaohs" Ahmed Fathi, after which the judge pointed to the 11-meter mark.

The verdict was undertaken by Fahad Al-Mouvalad, but he failed to beat the most experienced Al-Khadari.

45-year-old goalie reflected the blow by transferring the ball into the crossbar.

Unfortunately for Al-Hadari, already in the time added to the 1-st half time defender Ali Gabr brought in his goal one more penalty, holding the opponent for a t-shirt. This time the goalkeeper of the Egyptians with a stroke could not cope.

Note that, appearing on the field, Al-Hadari broke the record and became the most age-old football player in the history of world championships.
