Egypt are a goal up at half-time of their World Cup clash with Australia.

It has been an even contest in Dallas, with both sides enjoying chances which could easily have bolstered the scoreline.

But it is the African nation who have the advantage heading into the second half.

A well-worked set piece routine saw the Pharaohs shift the ball around the penalty box, before full-back Karim Hafez delivered a teasing ball in.

With Australia goalkeeper Patrick Beach stranded, Emam Ashour had a free header at the back post, which he guided into the far corner.

It sparked wild celebrations from the Egyptians, who have moved one step closer to a possible last-16 clash with one of Argentina or Cape Verde.
