Naija, make I tell you wetin dey happen for Dallas as Australia and Egypt dey fight for World Cup knockout stage. Both teams come through as runners-up for their groups.
Australia, wey dem dey call Socceroos, shock Turkey for their first match, and now dem dey try win World Cup knockout match for the first time. Egypt, wey dem dey call Pharaohs, make history by winning their first-ever World Cup match, and dem come through group wey get Belgium, Iran, and New Zealand without losing.
Mohamed Salah and im crew dey lead Egypt. Australia don only concede two goals so far, both for same match against co-hosts USA. The winner go face Argentina or Cape Verde for last-16.
For the match, Australia equalize through own goal by Mohamed Hany. Aiden O’Neill cross hit Hany head and enter net. Australia start to ask more questions for Egypt defence. Ziko trip O’Neill and give free-kick for dangerous area.
Volpato play well but Egypt deal with cross. Australia show more urgency for second half. Big blow for Australia as Jordan Bos don replace by Trewin for half-time. Bos dey look like im get plenty pain for end of first half.
Back for second half, Egypt get chance but Marmoush fail to hit target.
