1st half
-Egypt in white stockings, white shorts, and red shirts, Senegal in green-green-white
-('2) Senegal begin confident, trying to suffocate the Egyptian game right away by tight pressing all over the field
-('4) but Egypt has the first opportunity when the Senegalese keeper, himself under pressure, mispasses the ball to an Egyptian, who then 25 meter central to the goal is fouled for a free kick
-('5) the beautiful free kick by #10 Sabry misses only by centimeters
-('8) Senegal look strong and combinate through into the penalty area where El Hadj Diouf is seprived of the ball by a defenders leg just before scoring
-('10) Egypt: a through ball on an Egyptian attacker at the right hand side, the keeper has left his goal, a mistake. But the angle is too tight and the lob misses the goal while it is too close to the goal to be reached by another attacker
-('13) Senegal: long range shot, wide
-('16) the referee rewards a strange free kick to Egypt from the left hand side. They play an unexpected short pass, then a dangerous cross, but it misses all attackers and goes out
-('18) similarly dangerous free kick on the other side but no harm
-('20) Egypt with a half chance 
-('21) dangerous Senegal counter attack (Camara?), defenders can obstruct the way to the goal and it's only a corner
-('27) huge opportunity for Egypt as the keeper deflects a long range Sabry shot into the path of an opportunistic Egyptian attacker who hits the goalpost from an outside angle, a very close scene. In two immediately successing scenes the keeper has problems with dangerous crosses.
-('32) a promising Senegalese attack is stopped by an inexplicalble referee call
-('38) A diagonal through ball on El Hadj Diopuf sets up a huge opportunity for Senegal. .After his side pass is already intercepted it slips through the defenders legs and a striker, possibly Fadiga immediately fires, the shot beeats the keeper but a defender scratches it off the line
-('41) the game of the Senegalese keeper has stabilised.
-('42) Senegal Fadiga fires across the bar from more than 20 meters
-('injury time) the Senegalese keeper drops another great Sabry free kick and it rolls in front of the feet of Egyptian #3 who had speculated for the opportunity. Only his attempt goes wide.

halftime 0:0
A very good game. Senegal once more superstrong, more and more dominating the match, but with some weak spots as well. Egypt very solid and smart in spotting those weaknesses.

2nd half
-Senegal bring on a substitute (#14)
-('48) Egypt: a long range #15 free kick is deflected by the wall for a corner
-('48) the corner is played short, back outside, a cross flies in, and #18 Ahmed Hossam, notz tightly marked, heads it into the net - 1:0
-Egypt, as often,  have prepared set pieces very well in practice it seems
-('50) Senegal attempt, across the bar
-('53) Senegal create a dangerous situation in the Egyptian penalty area, but it is cleared by defefence
-('57) Senegal pressuring, and Egypt with counterattacks: Sabry across the the bar
-('59) Sabry ignites another dangerous attack
-('64) a crwoded Egyptian defence prevents a Senegalese header after a corner from crossing the line
-('71) Egypt with a half chance after a quick long throw in, possible a practised situation, too
-('73) Senegal: free kick from the left hand side, dangerously on the goal, a defender steps in and deflects it for a corner
-('73) Senegal: the corner produces a situation with the keeper out of the play and El Hadji Diouf firing on the goal where four defenders stand on the line and obstruct the way into the net
-('74) Senegal: the next thrilling situation, an acrobatic shot by El Hadj Diouf and a giant save by the Egyoptian keeper
-somebody had thrown a second ball on thefield, possibkly in an unfair attempt to stop the dangerous situation, the referee goes behind the goal and somebody who  rather looks like a fan gets kicked out of the inner area, if there is a connection remains unclear
-('78) Egypt counter attack: Sabry fires across the goal
-Senegal have been fighting for every ball throughout the match
-('81) Senegal: another dangerous ball, but offside
-('85) Egypt: #12 Barakat has an opportunity after a counter attack but only hits the keeper with his shot
-('87) Senegal: dangerous 20 meter shot by El Hadj Diouf, but it misses the goal by centimeters
-('88) another attempt, this time by Fadiga rolls wide by a close margin at the other goal post
-('injury time) one linesmen is making some dubious decisions in favour of the Egyptians, stopping the last two Sengalese attacks
final score 1:0
credit to Egypt who have defeated a very strong Senegalese team by a very good, concentrated, and errorfree performance, well prepared for every set piece situation and eventually exploiting the few leaks in the Lions defence. Senegal with another impressing performance, but ill luck is mounting for them after three similarly strong performances at Algeria, Morocco (the goal that was not given), and Egypt have only brought two points. They are the first of the three candidates to have become defeated now.
