Inaugural round of 32 action continues in Dallas

A fascinating World Cup round of 32 showdown is in store as Australia take on Egypt in Dallas this evening. Both nations progressed to this stage as runners-up in their respective groups, with the Socceroos' shock win over Turkey in their opener ultimately proving decisive. The aim now is to win World Cup knockout game for the first time and reach the last-16 for a second straight tournament.

The Pharaohs, meanwhile, made history by winning their first-ever World Cup match and came through a group containing Belgium, Iran and New Zealand unbeaten, though missed out on topping Group G by virtue of an inferior goal difference.

Mohamed Salah and co. are set to have their work cut out trying to breach one of the meanest defences in the tournament as Australia have conceded just twice so far and both goals game in the same game against co-hosts USA. The winners will advance to the last-16 where a showdown against either the reigning champions Argentina or surprise package Cape Verde awaits.
