Hossam Abdelmaguid scored the decisive penalty as Egypt beat Australia 4-2 on penalties after they finished level at 1-1 following extra time on Friday to reach the World Cup last 16.
The game went to extra time after a second-half Mohamed Hany own goal cancelled out Emam Ashour’s early opener for Egypt.
They will play either Argentina or Cape Verde in the next round.
