Egypt has defeated Paraguay 5-4 in a shootout to reach the last four round of semi-finalists at the Paris Olympics.
Ibrahim Adel on Friday converted the final penalty kick for Egypt after their goalkeeper, Hamza Alaa, saved from Marcelo Perez to seal the win after the teams had drawn 1-1 in regulation and failed to score in extra time.
Also on Friday, Spain eased past Japan 3-0 to set up a semifinal clash with Morocco, who thrashed the United States 4-0.
A FermÃn López double and an Abel Ruiz effort in the 86th minute sealed the win for La Roja, who three years ago beat Japan in the semifinals at the delayed Tokyo Olympics.
Both teams will be clashing with either of Morocco and France, who qualified for the semis on the same day.
