Defending champions face Pharaohs in historic knockout clash
Argentina continue their World Cup title defence in Atlanta as Egypt aim to become just the fifth African nation to reach the quarter-finals.
Argentina arrive in the round of 16 in imperious form, winning all four of their recent fixtures including a 3-2 victory over Cape Verde Islands and a 3-1 win against Jordan. Currently top of the table with nine points and in total control of their title race, the holders have scored 11 goals in four matches in North America. They are looking to maintain a record that has seen them progress from this stage in seven of their last nine World Cup attempts.
Egypt reached this stage after an uninspiring 1-1 draw with Australia, eventually progressing 4-2 on penalties. While they remain unbeaten in the competition, Hossam Hassan’s side have drawn three of their last four matches 1-1. Sitting second on five points in the standings, the Pharaohs are in uncharted territory, appearing in their first-ever World Cup knockout match.
