Egypt made history by reaching the FIFA World Cup knockout stage for the first time after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Iran in their final Group G match. Mahmoud Saber gave Egypt an early lead before Ramin Rezaeian equalised for Iran. Goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir starred with a penalty save and several crucial stops, while a late Iranian winner was ruled out by VAR. The unbeaten Pharaohs finished second in the group and will face Australia in the Round of 32, while Iran must wait to learn if they qualify as one of the tournament's best third-placed teams.
