In what will instantly become of the most memorable games in tournament history, Brazil and Egypt dueled to the end until a last-minute penalty call against Egypt gave Kaka the chance to rescue the result and a claim a 4-3 victory for Brazil. It was a mighty effort for the Pharoahs, bouncing back to score two goals in a minute's time to level at 3-3 and set up the dramatic finish.
The penalty call will be sure to inspire debate, and might even make it's way into ussoccer.com's Referee Week in Review!

On replay, the penalty was definitely the right call.

If only to take some of the stress off showing how atrocious some of the refereeing has been in the MLS this year...
I also agree that it was the right call, but I'm afraid Egypt has a point that it appears video replays were used to determine what happened, and that currently isn't allowed under FIFA.
