ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Egypt and Australia are headed to extra time at the World Cup with their round of 32 match even at 1-1 on Friday.
The teams will now play 30 minutes of extra time, split into two 15-minute halves. If the score is still even after extra time, there will be a penalty shootout to decide 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 even the score at 1-1.
