SEATTLE \u2014 Egypt advanced past the group stage at the World Cup for the first time while Iran, which had a potential late winning goal called back due to an offside, will have to wait one day to find out its fate after the two teams played to a 1-1 draw on Friday night.<\/p>\n

At the conclusion of what was promoted as a \u201cPride Match\u201d in Seattle, one which neither Iran nor Egypt wanted any part in, the Pharaohs finished in second place in Group G. Belgium, which played to a 1-1 draw against Egypt on June 15, beat New Zealand, 5-1, in Vancouver, British Columbia to win the group outright.<\/p>\n

Iran could still advance to the knockout round for the first time in the\u00a0expanded 48-team pool\u00a0at this year\u2019s tournament. But, they no longer control their own destiny after Friday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Egypt took an early lead on a goal by Mahmoud Saber in the fifth minute. Former Liverpool star Mohamed Salah provided some strong play in the box before Saber fired a shot between the legs of Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand.<\/p>\n

Iran tied the match nine minutes later on a goal by Ramin Rezaeian, and nearly won the game in stoppage time. Shoja Khalilzadeh fired a shot past Egypt goalie Mostafa Shobeir in the 93rd minute, but it was overturned for offside after a video review.<\/p>\n
