Video of the Week: Egypt survives at the death

Scenes of ecstatic disbelief exploded all over Egypt on Saturday, as Emad Moteab powered home a header from 8 yards to win 2-0 over Algeria in Cairo. Egypt went into the game needing a 2-goal win in order to avoid being knocked out of the World Cup, and after Amr Zaki's 2' goal, they had to wait until the 5th minute injury time to score the crucial second goal.

Extraordinarily, that goal meant that Egypt and Algeria finish with identical records: 13 points (4W, 1D, 1L), nine goals scored, four goals conceded. The two sides are even tied on head-to-head record, due to Algeria's 3-1 win in the reverse fixture. Almost nothing separates these two sides.

As a result, FIFA has ordered the two teams to play a near-unprecedented one-match playoff, in neutral Sudan on Wednesday. Nothing is ever easy for the Egyptians, so Wednesday's match is surely going to be one hell of a spectacle.
