FIFA World Cup Round of 16 Live: Defending champions Argentina chase a place in the quarter-finals against Egypt
Argentina return to familiar territory as they look to book another place in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup. The reigning champions topped Group K with three straight wins before surviving a major scare in the round of 16. The Cape Verde debutants pushed Lionel Scaloni’s side all the way to extra time before a late own goal helped Argentina escape to a 3-2 victory.
Egypt’s journey was equally dramatic. The Pharaohs reached the knockout stage for the first time after registering their first World Cup win during the group stage, then defeating Australia 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. No team has lost a game in this tournament so far.
