Omar Marmoush started in Arlington at the Dallas Stadium as his side were forced to extra time as the game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes with no more goals coming in the additional 30.
The Soccerroos had only won one of their previous 15 World Cup matches when conceding first and it was always going to be a tough task.
Egypt took the lead when an unmarked Emam Ashour powered in Karim Hafez’s cross after 13 minutes.
Marmoush had the perfect opportunity to double Egypt’s lead within 10 seconds of the second half as he rolled a shot wide of the goal.
10 minutes later Egypt defender Mohamed Hany headed in Aiden O’Neill’s free-kick to give Australia hope and to the penalty spot it would be.
Harry Souttar fired the first spot-kick way over the bar while Lucas Herrington also missed his effort.
Defender Hossam Abdelmaguid scored the decisive goal for the Pharaohs to win 4-2.
