The superstar showdown between La Albiceleste and the Pharaohs

As reigning world champions, Argentina come into this meeting as heavy favorites, having enjoyed a near flawless run—although they survived a scare in the Round of 32 against Cape Verde (3-2 after extra time). On the other side, Egypt are living a fairytale run: the Pharaohs reach this stage of the tournament for the first time since 1934, after clinching qualification via penalties against Australia. The two teams have only met twice before in their history, with Argentina winning both encounters.
