Outrage Over Unequal Security Checks on Egyptian Fans at Argentina-Egypt Match

Argentina staged a dramatic 3-2 comeback against Egypt, with goals from Romero, Messi, and Fernández erasing a 2-0 deficit in the final minutes.

But footage showed security personnel searching fans in Egypt's red jerseys at length, while those in Argentina's blue-and-white stripes passed nearby turnstiles unchecked—one fan even asked an official, who replied 'Yeah.'

 Egyptian supporters labeled it racial discrimination, while some defended it as standard security; the stadium maintains all fans face screening under a clear-bag policy, but neither it nor FIFA has commented on the clips.
