Egypt Shocks Iran Into Knockout Stage

Egypt just made history by reaching the World Cup knockout stage for the first time ever, surviving a nail-biting draw with Iran. Mahmoud Saber gave them an early lead, but Iran’s Ramin Rezaeian equalized after a scramble. Egypt’s goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir made crucial saves, including a dramatic stop right before halftime. In the second half, Egypt held firm as Iran nearly snatched a late winner — only to have it disallowed by VAR for offside. Now Egypt advances to face Australia, while Iran’s fate hangs in the balance, depending on other Group G results. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
