Egypt\u00The A02026 qualifies this Friday for the 8th finals of the World Cup bydefeating Australiain penalties. After tying one in the regular time and not scoring a goal in the extension, the penalties have chosen the Africans (2-4), whose rival will be the winner of the match between Argentina and Cape Verde.

A foul thrown by Salah, a bad clearance and a ball from Hamdy Fathy into the area that Emman Ashourhas topped head-on without an obstacle  has put the Pharaohs ahead.

Egypt has had the ball and, although it has offered a couple of opportunities to its opponent, with shots finished with too many centers, it has not passed many dangers.

But, as he feared, the danger has come by standing ball and,when\u00A0 Mohamed Hany has hit the ball with the back of his head, he has scored on his own doorstep.

The match has gone to the extension and then to the penalty, and Souttar and Herrington's mistakes have punished Australia, and Egypt has advanced to octaves for the first time.
