Egypt's World Cup dream lives on after dramatic penalty shootout with Australia
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.
