First Half Stats

The game started with wave of attacks from Angola who surprised the former AFCON Champions Egypt and it really took time for Mohsen & Co. to settle their nerves. Egypt enjoyed most of the possession in the second quarter of the match but failed to find the goal even though it often looked like the opening goal was just moments away.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Egypt pushing forward and trying to break through Angola’s defence from the right side. However, Angola defender Fortuna, who finished as the highest rated player for Angola, stood firm and gave the team in white no clear chances to score.
