ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) --- Egypt and Australia are headed to a penalty shootout
at the World Cup with their round of 32 match even at 1-1 through 120 minutes
of play on Friday.
With the score in the knockout round still even after 30 minutes of extra time,
a penalty shootout decides which team advances to the round of 16.
Egypt defender Mohamed Hany became the first player with two own-goals in the
same World Cup tournament, allowing Australia to level the score in the 55th
minute.
Emam Ashour scored in the 13th minute for Egypt, which is making its debut in
the knockout round of the World Cup. Australia is looking for first knockout
victory in the third try for the Socceroos.
