Mohamed Salah's penalty was struck like a rocket but crashed back off the crossbar.
For a split-second, it looked as if the Egyptian star was about to miss his second spot-kick in the space of a week, having failed for Liverpool against Newcastle on New Year's Day.
Technically this one still counted as a miss but it rebounded off the woodwork, struck the goalkeeper's backside and went in.
Salah was too embarrassed to celebrate but maybe it's a good omen, a sign fortune is on Egypt's side this time.
