Earlier in the tournament, he had sent a foul on the spot during Argentina’s win over Austria.Speaking on ITV commentary, Jon Champion described it as an “unwanted World Cup record”.Interestingly, both penalty misses came from the same side.

Against Egypt, he hit the ball with power, but it was at a comfortable height for Shobeir to make the save.Earlier in the match, Egypt took the lead through Yasser Ibrahim in the 15th minute. Ibrahim put a cross into the penalty area and past Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez to put Egypt 1-0 ahead.Egypt went into halftime with a 1-0 lead over the defending champions.FOLLOW LIVE
