Egypt beat Australia in a penalty shootout at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Egypt progress to the round-of-16 game in Atlanta on July 7, where they will face the winner of Argentina’s game with Cape Verde, which kicks off at 6pm EDT (11pm BST) today in Miami.Australia started the game well with Cristian Volpato hitting the bar with a long-range shot inside the first five minutes. Egypt, though, were soon in control and opened the scoring on 13 minutes as midfielder Emam Ashour headed in a Karim Hafez cross at the far post.Despite losing Jordan Bos to what looked like a serious knee injury just before half-time, Australia rallied in the second half to equalise. Aiden O’Neill hit an inswinging free kick from the left that Mohamed Hany directed into his own net, the Egypt defender’s second own goal of the tournament — the first player in World Cup history to do so. Whether Hany should still have been on the pitch is another question, after it appeared he had been knocked unconscious by a blow to the head just minutes before.Egypt thought they had won the game in stoppage time when Mohamed Salah’s cross was headed goalwards by Ramy Rabia, only for Australia goalkeeper Patrick Beach to pull off an incredible save.After a scrappy extra time came to a close, Australia coach Tony Popovic substituted his goalkeeper, replacing the heroic Beach with 34-year-old Mathew Ryan, presumably for the latter’s prowess at saving penalties.The gambit did not pay off, however. Harry Souttar hit the first penalty over the bar and fellow centre-back Lucas Herrington, 18, hit the bar with Australia’s fourth. Egypt converted all of their penalties, including a ‘Panenka’ from Salah, with defender Hossam Abdelmaguid scoring the winner.Stuart James, Simon Hughes and Patrick Iversen dissect the key talking points.Australia’s goalkeeper gambit doesn’t pay offTony Popovic’s decision to withdraw the Australia goalkeeper Beach in the 119th minute and replace him with Ryan backfired as Egypt won 4-2 on penalties to reach the last-16 of the World Cup.Ryan’s late introduction in extra time had echoes of a World Cup quarter-final in 2014, when the Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal substituted Jasper Cillessen, who had played in goal for the previous 120 minutes, and brought on Tim Krul.It was a highly unusual situation — Krul came on with only 44 seconds remaining — but Van Gaal was totally vindicated. Krul guessed the right way on all five Costa Rica penalties and saved two of them.This didn’t play out the same way for Australia, who got off to the worst possible start in the shootout when Souttar lifted his penalty high over the bar. Herrington also missed for Australia. Egypt, in contrast, scored all four of their penalties, including a Panenka from Salah, with Ryan unable to get near any of them.Mohamed Salah beat Mat Ryan with a Panenka (Thomas COEX / AFP via Getty Images)Stuart JamesWas Salah really fully fit?“I am not going to run any risks unless I am 100 per cent sure he is raring and ready to go.”That was Hossam Hassan, the Egypt coach, talking the day before the game about whether or not Salah would be ready to start against Australia. Salah’s inclusion in the Egypt line-up felt misleading in that respect because the 34-year-old was, plainly, lacking sharpness and a long way from being fully fit.
