What is at stake for Australia and Egypt?

Australia have previous when it comes to being present in the knockout round of a World Cup, having made the round of 16 in 2006 and 2022.

The Socceroos finished second in Group D to progress to the next stage, with a goalless draw against Paraguay on matchday three moving them onto four points, two points behind USA.

Egypt were second in Group G behind Belgium, picking up five points from their three matches to book their spot in the round of 32.

The Pharaohs have not managed to reach the last-16 stage of a World Cup since 1934, so there is plenty on the line in this contest.

The winner of this clash will face either Argentina or Cape Verde in the round of 16.
