Despite the lacklustre display, the Pharaohs won by two goals to nil against a poor Mazambique side. Egyptians couldn't score but Mozambique defender did it for them to grant them the lead. The super sub Gedo did once again and scored a cracker from distance to double the Pharaohs lead and send them to the quarter finals.

The Pharaohs Advance to Quarter Finals:

The Pharaohs managed to win their game against Mozambique in a lackluster fashion. However, they got the job done and advanced to the knock off stages.

The display wasn't the best though. This might be attributed to the wet pitch and the rain which affected the player's control on the ball. Passing wasn't accurate, movement to the right space at the time time didn't exist especially in the first half. The strikers Zidan and Meteb didn't position themselves well in front of goal. Add to this the very poor form of Hosni Abd Rabo in midfield and the the lack of a specific role for Shikabala.

Things improved a little in the 2nd half as Muhammadi came on to revive the right flank while Fathi moved to the middle to help the Egyptian side to dominate this area.

Ahmed Eid also replaced the angry Zidan who went straight to the bench without shaking hands with his replacement or the coaching staff. Zidan might feels that he sacrificed alot to play for his country by losing his starting spot in Dortmund to Valdez who is expected to start tomorrow in the Bundesliga clash with Koln.
