27 June 2013-PA Sport
Iraq accounted for Egypt to go top of Group E at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey as England and Chile drew.
Iraq's 2-1 win over Egypt left the Pharaohs on the brink of an early exit after successive defeats.
Mohanad Abdulraheem scored a 79th winner as Hakeem Shaker’s side came from behind at Antalya’s Akdeniz University Stadium to move ahead of Chile on goals scored.
Hassan Ahmed gave Egypt a 27th minute lead before Amar Abdulhussein equalised on 33 minutes.
England's hopes are hanging by a thread after a second-half effort from Harry Kane salvaged a 1-1 draw against Chile.
Peter Taylor's men appeared to be heading for a defeat that would have been fatal after Nicolas Castillo put the South American side ahead from the penalty spot.
But Kane replied midway through the second half to secure another draw after the 2-2 weekend result against Iraq.
It means England, which have not won in 17 Finals matches in this competition, will now almost certainly need to break that horrendous sequence in its final match against Egypt in Bursa to reach the last 16.
In Group F, Uzbekistan and Croatia shared the spoils in Bursa to move to four points.
Sardor Rakhmanov opened the scoring for Akhmadjan Musaev's team, in what was the first ever meeting between these teams, but Marko Livaja found a second-half equalizer.
Uruguay got its campaign up and running with a 2-0 victory over New Zealand.
Giorgian De Arrascaeta (fourth) and Nicolas Lopez (75th) got Uruguay's goals to secure its first points for the tournament after a first up loss to Croatia.
The defeat sees New Zealand goalless and pointless after two games.
