Egypt - Senegal
Before
the match
Both
won their first match and, depending on the outcome of the Zambia-Burkina
Faso match, a winner here could already be qualified for the quarterfinals.
Egypt looked like a tough nut to crack in their defence with some weapons
to score, but not yet brilliant.
Senegal
won their first match by a well-balanced performance but this match could
be different: Against Burkina Faso, Senegal were able to rely on counter
attacks, because of the early lead. Egypt themselves play out of a strong
defence and will be a completely different character of opponent.

1st
half
-('14)
Egypt: Good opportunity for Egypt outnumbering the defence, but Omara does
not deliver the lethal pass
Egypt
has more pall posession, spreads the field, Senegal with some individual
dynamic runs through midlifield (f.e. Fadiga) which get easily stopped
by the organised Egyptian defence.

their ball techniiques

Egypt: spectacular header by Hossam Hassan after a cross from the left

a minutes long confusion on the field around the referee who is taking
down a lot of things in his notebook, perharps concerning the Senegalese
bench, but situation remains unclear

time) missed opportunity after corner when El Saqqa unleashes a dangerous
header across the bar
Halftime
- 1:0
Senegal
has had some good periods in the first half, but has not had a clear-cut
chance. Egypt with the conspicious Omara and Radwan then went ahead by
Hossam Hassa who rebounded from a wasted opportunity a minute before. It
will be tough to score for Senegal, but not impossible.
It will be a long nicht,
have a break, revive some other senses... ...
2nd
Half
Sengegal
attacks but can't get any clear opportunities, Egypts trying to counter
with long balls but is not dangerous either. A match without clear chances
until:

Senegal: Henri Camara brilliantly sets up substitute #3 but the Egyptian
keeper is able to make his first real save
-('89)
Senegal: Two huge opportunities but again the keeper saves
-('90)
Senegal: again dangerous, Camera hits the outside of the net - suddenly
the match is exciting
Senegal
substitute #3 Traoré has brought some fire into the match
Final
Result - 1:0
Egypt
dominated the match with their defence, but suddenly in the final 5 minutes
came into heavy difficulties. They did not have a single opportunity during
the second half, Senegal had only few more.
If
Burkina Faso does not beat Zambia, Egypt will be formally qualified for
the quarterfinals already before their third group match.
