ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Hossam Abdelmaguid scored the deciding goal in a shootout, and Egypt won its debut in the World Cup<\/a> knockout round by beating Australia 4-2 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw Friday.<\/p>\n

Australia goalkeeper Mathew Ryan didn’t stop any of Egypt’s four shots after replacing starter Patrick Beach late in extra time.<\/p>\n

The victory comes in Egypt’s fourth World Cup. Australia is now 0-3 in the knockout round.<\/p>\n

Egypt will next face either defending champion Argentina or Cape Verde in the round of 16 on Tuesday in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Harry Souttar opened the shootout by missing high for Australia, and 18-year-old Lucas Herrington hit the crossbar with the fourth attempt to set up Abdelmaguid\u2019s clincher.<\/p>\n

Egypt\u2019s other penalty shootout scorers were Mahmoud Saber, Ramy Rabia and Mohamed Salah, the former Liverpool star who started despite a hamstring injury sustained in the team’s group finale.<\/p>\n

Jackson Irvine and Awer Mabil scored in the shootout for Australia.<\/p>\n

Emam Ashour gave Egypt the lead in regulation by scoring in the 13th minute with a header that beat Beach just inside the near post. Australia evened the match in the 55th when Egypt defender Mohamed Hany became the first player to score two own-goals in the same World Cup.<\/p>\n

The own-goal came when Aiden O\u2019Neill took a free kick from left of the penalty area and Hany headed the ball past goalkeeper Mostafa Shoubir for a spot in World Cup infamy. His other own-goal came in a 1-1 draw with Belgium in the group stage.<\/p>\n

Less than 10 minutes earlier, Hany was down near the same spot after colliding with Connor Metcalfe on the Australia midfielder\u2019s header attempt. Medical personnel tended to Hany with a stretcher waiting nearby, but he was helped up and stayed on after what appeared to be a concussion check.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s only scoring in World Cup knockout rounds has been two own-goals. The Socceroos lost to Italy 1-0 in 2006 and lost to Argentina 2-1 four years ago in Qatar. The goal against Argentina was an own-goal.<\/p>\n

Omar Marmoush had a great chance to give Egypt a two-goal lead in the opening seconds of the second half, but he sent a shot wide.<\/p>\n

The late goalkeeper switch to the 34-year-old Ryan, for his 105th international appearance, came despite several strong saves from the 22-year-old Beach, who was playing in only his sixth game for the Socceroos.<\/p>\n

Beach made a sprawling save on a header from Rabia in the waning moments of regulation, and seconds later had a much easier stop on Salah\u2019s shot.<\/p>\n

Egypt had one more chance before the end of regulation, but Haissem Hassan was turned away by Souttar, who deflected the shot with his knee.<\/p>\n
