After a dramatic day, the Egyptian Olympic team succeeded in the "difficult task" and qualified for the quarter - finals of the football competition at the Tokyo Olympics.

The Pharaoh managed to beat Australia, by 2-0, in the last Group III tournament, to qualify for the quarter-finals, having failed to achieve any victory in his first two appearances.

Ahmed Yasser Ryan scored Egypt's most expensive goal, in the 44th minute, after a brilliant Mahari break from wing Ramadan Sabhi, who passed for Ryan, and Ammar Hamdi's second goal in the 85th minute, wiped out Australia's hopes.

The Egyptian team gave a solid defensive performance in the second inning, closing in on Australia, and successfully qualifying.

The Egyptian team was second in the third group, one goal behind Argentina, the third, a 1-1 tie with Spain.

The Egyptian Olympian awaits a real "nightmare" in front of the Brazilian Olympian in the quarter-finals.

The Egyptian team will play its sparkling Brazilian opponent next Saturday in Saitama at 12 p.m. Cairo time.

On the other hand, after winning over France and South Africa, Japan and Mexico qualified for Group I.
