Egypt beat Australia on penalties for a first-ever World Cup knockout win
- Egypt reached the last 16 of the World Cup for the first time, edging Australia 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Arlington, Texas.
- It was the nation's first knockout-round victory at a World Cup — a milestone sealed in a shootout that turned, oddly, on the same Egyptian defender whose own goal had let Australia back into the match.
