At the first opportunity, Egypt managed to score a goal through Emam Ashour! In a corner kick situation, the ball moved to the opposite side and fell to Hafez's feet. A perfect cross allowed Ashour to head the ball without Australian goalkeeper Beach being able to anticipate it. This was a surprise for Australia, who previously performed quite well in this match.
