Egypt goal denial

[Drewonix]

During the high-stakes Round of 16 match in Atlanta, Egypt took a shock 1-0 lead over the reigning champions through a Yasser Ibrahim header. Argentina was presented with a golden opportunity to level the score when Nicolás Tagliafico won a penalty. However, Egyptian goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir brilliantly denied Lionel Messi from the spot, diving correctly to his left to push the ball away. This marked a historic moment, making Messi the first player in World Cup history to miss two penalties within a single tournament edition.
