00:00No goals thus far then in this men's football quarter-final.
00:25Now then, there might be a breakthrough here, lovely dummy, oh that's over the top from the
00:33player rushing up Saber, the dummy is what cut Paraguay open there, it's become their
00:43biggest weapon really, it was here who had the shot against the chest of Fernandes but
00:48here come Paraguay, it's a one-on-one situation, now Egypt have got bodies back and it's Ala
00:57who makes the save finally from Marcello, Paraguay try and switch it in though the pass
01:06not quite smooth enough and it breaks for Enciso and there might be an opening here
01:11for Perez who's in behind and draws the save from Hamza Ala, that's all it takes, just
01:17a little turnover in Perteggian, Scheherazade there with the foot in and he's closed them
01:27down there, Adele, it might break, Adele is able to nudge it in to Feital and that's a
01:35lunging save from Fernandes, putting a shift there having worked his way into Seguir's
01:42plans after the first couple of games there, 70 minutes of work right from him, there's
01:48a break, there's a goal, what about that, Diego Gomez, Paraguay one up in the quarter
01:59final, it happens straight after the substitution, Diego Gomez took it superbly, there hasn't
02:06been much room, the ball stopped over the top, picked up though by Feital as it comes
02:18there to Zizou and then the layoff that kept it going with Xhahata and Fernandes just has
02:26to help that open over, here's the corner, whipped in and again they've defended well
02:35but missed the clearance which means that Egypt still have possession, the ball in is
02:41not of quality though, there's Saad, Elneny helps it through once again, Zizou with a
02:47weave back inside and the cross and the overload and the goal, Adele has done it, two goals
02:58crucially against the Spanish to get them into the quarter finals and now a salvage
03:06goal here against Paraguay, late on, game on, all the options, re-kick, drifts through
03:16that first man shot on the turn, he's on the scuff a little bit there, to the last four
03:24of the Paris Olympic Games in men's football, Gomez to make it 1-1 in the shootout, oh yes,
03:35that's delightful, that really is delightful, a spot kick under pressure in these circumstances,
03:40top corner, oh no, he went low to the goalkeeper's left and Hamza Alaa gets right, yeah the first
03:57big moment in the shootout here in the quarter final, just hell didn't he, for Egypt, cry
04:06your heart out, he's done it, he's slotted into the corner and Egypt have won the penalty
04:14shootout to make the Olympic semi-final, their penalties were absolutely impeccable, five
04:23from five and Egypt go through, they have broken this quarter final hoodoo and for the
04:31first time since 1964, Egypt are in the men's Olympic football semi-final, what drama, what
04:41history and what composure throughout the shootout.
