After having smashed every team out of the park, Holland were expected to do the same against Estonia. But they needed Robin van Persie‘s 93rd-minute penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw, leaving just one team standing with a 100% record in the race for Brazil. That team is Egypt, who are hoping to qualify for their first World Cup since 1990.

The Pharaohs are flying high in Group G, having won all of their matches and securing top spot in their group, with second placed Guinea five points behind with just one game to go. Their final match is against a Guinea side that will finish second, irrespective of what happens on Tuesday.
