Salah fires Egypt past Australia on penalties in World Cup exit

Australia's World Cup campaign ended in the Round of 32 with a penalty shootout defeat to Egypt (1). Mohamed Salah, who had been a doubt for the match with a hamstring injury, stepped up in the decisive moment. "I decided last minute. I am more experienced than others and I wanted to give them confidence," Salah said (1). Egypt now advance to face Argentina in the quarter-final, where their fans are already rallying behind the mantra: "They have Messi, but we have Salah" (1). For the Socceroos, the exit brings a historic tournament to a close.
