Egypt beats Australia on penalties to reach World Cup last‑16

Egypt advanced to the World Cup last‑16 by defeating Australia 4–2 in a penalty shoot‑out after a 1‑1 draw in Dallas. Mohamed Salah scored a decisive panenka spot‑kick, while Australia’s Mohamed Hany recorded his second own‑goal of the tournament, the first player to score two own‑goals in a single World Cup.

The win marked Egypt’s first ever knockout‑stage victory at a World Cup. Emam Ashour opened scoring in the 13th minute, and the match featured key saves from both goalkeepers before extra time ended without further goals.
