-('7) Egypt: impressive
long range free kick, but Morocco keeper seizes the ball
-('10) Egypt look dangerous
on fast counter attacks using the left wing

attitude, that creates space for the fast Egyptians

the low shot
-('17) Hossam Hassan targets

out two defenders but fires across the bar from half left
-('42) the stadium is excited:
again a cross from the left - this time it finds Hossam Hassan, his attempt
gets deflected and goes over the bar by a narrow margin
halftime 0:0
Morocco play quite well,
but Egypt is far more dangerous on fast counter attacks, especially when
using the left wing (so the right hand side is a defence problem for Morocco).
A lively match with a good tempo.
2nd half:
-Egypt starts again with
some half chances
-Morocco now more careful,
the match is is far more neutralized without big goal scenes
-('62) suddenly Camacho
(Hadda) is broken through after a long ball and the Egyptian keeper can
deny the goal only in the last moment, storming out and fdeflecting the
ball for a corner
-Egypt has more problems
facing a crowded defence now more often
-('75) Hossam Hassan is
replaced in a match that has been deadlocked during the second half so
far
-('82) Egypt: an indirectly
played free kick is a rare second half test for the Morocco keeper
-('83) a defensive blunder
(or foul?) sees Egyptian #11 breaking through, passing by the keeper but
is already in a very different angle to the goal and he only hits the outside
of the net of the empty goal
-('89) Morocco survive a
last scare as they lose control over the situation inside their penalty
area
final score 0:0
Morocco made the right adjustments
at halftime and held Egypt, which looked a very good team for a long time,
to a draw. I do not want to build up klischees but scoring seems to be
the biggest problem in North African football. All the other aspects of
the game look pretty good.
Reuters reports 100,000
attendance but there were empty seats in the stadium.
