TL;DR

Egypt advanced to the World Cup last 16 for the first time since 1934 by beating Australia on penalties, with Mohamed Salah shockingly scoring a Panenka as a late goalkeeper substitution for Australia failed to stop any kicks. Emam Ashour had given Egypt the lead in a game notable for its tense stoppage-time drama and the teams’ reactions, culminating in a celebratory finish for Egypt and a swift exit for Australia.
