Egypt Advances After Hany's Own Goals

Mohamed Hany etched his name in World Cup history by becoming only the second player to score two own goals in a single tournament, following Bulgarian Ivan Vutsov in 1966. The defender's unfortunate performance pushed Egypt into extra time and ultimately a penalty shootout against Australia in what is being described as one of the least exciting round of 16 matches in tournament history. raccoongame.org

Despite the negative milestone, Egypt secured their place in the quarterfinals where they will face the winner of the upcoming match between Argentina and Cape Verde. The match remained goalless through regulation time and extra periods, with Egypt eventually prevailing 4-2 on penalties to advance to the next stage of the competition.
