The Egyptian team rallied from a three-goal deficit at halftime, which ended 20-17 in favor of the Czechs, to secure the draw in the final minute.
A standout performance from Egypt’s goalkeeper, who made several crucial saves, played a key role in keeping his team’s hopes alive.
Egypt are currently second in their group with three points, one point behind Denmark, who defeated Japan 38-25 earlier on Monday.
The Pharaohs will face Denmark on Tuesday, while the Czech Republic will play Japan on the same day.
The top two teams from each of the four main round groups will advance to the quarter-finals.
