The Pharaohs showed Brazil superior skills just three days ago. However, they couldn't come up with any points from the game. Now, the Pharaohs showed that they can be more tactical than the Italians and Hadary showed that he can be superior to Buffon.

Egypt played a typical conservative defensive style that Italy normally use throughout the whole game. The gaps in the Egyptian defense were all closed, the pressing on Italy players and the closing down was perfect to stop the Italian midfield from shooting from distance.

The game was tactical, the spaces were little and players like Abotreka and Zidan couldn't shine as they did in the Brazil match .Such scenario was expected though, but the Pharaohs really exceeded the expectations in playing extremely well in terms of marking and closing down.

Italy, on the other side, looked in a very poor shape. All their stars couldn't show anything special. In particular, Andrea Pirlo, who is well known for being one of the best freekick takers never hit the target despite having three chances from freekicks.

The Pharaohs played this game with three defensive midfielders while Abotreka played the role of the support man behind Zidan.
