Top scorer from Egypt

Yahia Khaled Fathy Omar scored three times in the opening 28:24 victory in Nantes, and now became Veszprém’s top shooter in the one-sided match against Zagreb with his six goals.

The 23-year-old right back was born in Giza and hopes for huge success in January, when the World Championship will be staged in his Egyptian hometown.
