| England came from behind to beat Egypt by 3 goals to 1. Egypt went ahead on 23 minutes when Mohamed Zidan capitalized on a slip by Mathew Upson to finish in style beyond Robert Green. Fabio Capello made a number of substitutions at half time, and it was two of the substitutes, Peter Crouch and Shaun Wright-Phillips, who made the major impact as they made strong claims for place in the England World Cup squad with fine second half performances. Crouch pounced on Gareth Barrys pass to finish neatly to draw England level on 56 minutes. Wright-Phillips scored on the rebound after Egypt keeper El Hadari could only parry a powerful volley from Milner. Crouch added to his fantastic scoring record at International level to score his 20th goal in 37 internationals, with 10 minutes remaining, when he turned in an excellent cross from Wright-Phillips to make the score line 3-1.
