The marathon match was very intense between the two teams, and the parity continued until reaching the penalty shootout.

The match began with intense pressure from the Cameroonian team in order to shake the Pharaohs’ net with an early goal that confuses the accounts, but the danger was absent from the Cameroonian attacks.

Salah directed a powerful shot over the crossbar, but the Cameroonian team responded strongly and directed a dangerous header through defender Ngadou, whose response was based.

The Cameroon team missed another opportunity through Njadou after he failed to take advantage of a close opportunity in the six yards area and then Abu Jabal cleared a dangerous cross before Abu Bakr’s head.

The Cameroonian team missed a new opportunity with a cross that Ekambi did not take advantage of, who shot next to the post; Omar Kamal received a warning, while Marmoush missed a dangerous opportunity to prepare for Salah, then Hamdi Fathi missed a header that was removed by the goalkeeper.

The winch fell injured in the head and underwent treatment, and the referee refused to count a mistake in favor of Marmoush, and the first half came out with a tie between the two teams.

The Egyptian team started the second half with Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet descending at the expense of Amr Al-Sulayya, while Mostafa Mohamed missed an opportunity with a header in the hands of the goalkeeper.

The winch was removed across, while Anguissa shot over the crossbar and saved the Pharaohs with a dangerous cross, and Mohamed Salah wasted alone with Onana’s progress, but the latter saved a real chance for the Pharaohs.

Elneny missed an opportunity with a dangerous cross that did not find anyone to follow it. The Egyptian national team involved Ramadan Sobhi at the expense of Marmoush to activate the attack.
