Before the match:
Egypt were the real winners
of week1 in a group that looks like it will produce a high number of draws.
Senegal are the dark horse for a surprise and this is one of the most crucial
matches. Can Egypt confirm their new poition as group favorites or can
Senegal enter the race for a place at Korea/Japan?
1st half:
Senegal in white, Egypt
in Green, Sabry and the Hassan twins are playing.
Famous pyramid tactician
El Gahory, who won the African Cup Of Nations 1998 with Egypt has returned
as coach.
-('5) the match had begun
with midfield play only but now a sudden long ball on Hossam Hassan. He
is irritated by a defender and cannot unleash a precise shot
-('11) after Senegal wasted
a free kick from a close right hand side position, a corner from the left
is headed from the line of the penalty area dangerously towards the goal
but goes across the bar
Egypt play out of a firm
defence with fast counter attacks similar to the style they won the 1998
Nations Cup
-('17) Senegal with a 18
meter shot from 16 meters missing wide right
-('18) very good opportunity
for Senegal, set up from the right wing but the Diof? header goes wide.

on the counter attack: Sabry's shot gets deflected, keeper without a chance
but the ball goes narrowly wide left

for Senegal

counter attack but are rulled offside
-('27) some 'discussions'
after two players became tangled up on the ground after a challenge hold

is no problem for the Egyptian keeper, Senegal have collected two yellow

the keeper who came storming out of his goal from 18 mieters but also across
the bar
-('48) error in the Senegalese
defence almost allowing Hossam Hassan to score

successfully against the first promising Senegalese attack of the second
half
no big goal scenes as
defenders have got the upper hand now. The ground causes some errors.

by Senegal: Diof? hits the outside of the net
Senegal, who seemed a
little tired have woken up and attack now

Egypt locked into their penalty area for minutes
-('84) N'daye with a shot
from the right corner of the penalty area tests the Egyptian keeper who
saves the ball for a corner
-('85) another scene in
which the alerted Egyptian keeper can prevent his team from damage-he saves
by foot before a Senegalese striker cam convert the centered ball
-('88) some in the crowd
want to have seen a handball by Egypt in the penalty area but it did not
really look so, players do not protest either
final result 0:0
Egypt got the result they
wanted. The third draw already in this group. This makes wins even more
valuable in the future. Egypt can be considered the group favorites now.
