Egypt's men's football team secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the Paris Olympics after an unexpected 2-1 victory over Spain, with Ibrahim Adel scoring both goals. Egypt took the lead in the 40th minute and extended it in the 62nd after a defensive error by Spain. Though Samu Omorodion scored for Spain in the final moments, Egypt held on to finish first in Group C. The young Pharaohs aim to redeem themselves after a disappointing AFCON exit earlier this year. They will face the runners-up from Group D, while Spain will meet the winners of that group in their quarterfinal match. This victory highlights Egypt's resurgence in international football and sets the stage for an exciting knockout round.
