Egypt vs Paraguay

Egypt's men's football team has made history by reaching the semi-finals of the Olympic tournament for the first time ever, following a dramatic quarter-final victory over Paraguay. After a 1-1 tie in regulation time, with Ibrahim Adel scoring a crucial equalizer in the 88th minute, the match went to penalties. Goalkeeper Hamza Alaa became the hero by saving a penalty, allowing Egypt to secure a 5-4 shootout victory. Egypt's prior best performance in the Olympics was a fourth-place finish in 1964, and they will now face either France or Argentina in the semi-finals. The other semi-final will feature Spain against Morocco, which also advanced by defeating the United States. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Egyptian football on the Olympic stage.
