00:00 Egypt get things started up against Namibia and Egyptians looking to make it
00:05 two wins from two in a group beat. Namibia hoping to bounce back after an
00:11 opening 5-4 defeat against Mauritania. Mauritania will take on Libya.
00:17 Ready to come on this is Maradona. Maradona finds Alashraou Maradona.
00:22 Simons off the post. The post this time denying Egypt. Rescued by the crossbar
00:29 and now the uprights. It's a lovely bit of play between Maradona.
00:35 Egypt making much of the running. This is really to be expected early on here
00:42 and there is the opener. Raheem the man to get it and Ashral may have just
00:48 distracted Van Wyk as it nestled into the far corner.
00:54 So Egypt do have the breakthrough here with a little over five minutes gone.
01:01 This time not to be denied.
01:06 Station right in front of the keeper Alashraou. Troy Gothman again at Willemse
01:15 getting nice and tight on Khaled. Saeed towards and Khaled and he pokes it
01:23 wide at the back stick. Kamatuka, Yaka, Kamatuka.
01:33 And they have the equaliser. It's Willemse. Tucks it away for one apiece.
01:39 Excellent response from Namibia.
01:42 Django puts his fists over on the sideline. Right back in it's...
01:49 Kidwell and Kamatuka down on the corner. Puts it and pull it back for Willemse.
01:58 Find it past the dive of Shoupir. Benema's strike straight at Van Wyk though.
02:06 A door stab. Loses out to Maradona. Maradona rides a couple of charges and
02:14 lashes it home. Superb goal from the number 14 Maradona. Won the ball back.
02:21 Right around the halfway line. Skipped past a couple of Namibia players and
02:28 then thumped it past CJ Van Wyk. The Namibia keeper.
02:35 Just tried to get his right arm up. Wasn't able to do so in time.
02:41 Be careful Kamatuka.
02:45 Salonka. Excellent shot from Shoupir. Follow-up and it's crashed home.
02:52 It's Yaka. Rifles it into the roof of the net. Shoupir done it really well initially.
02:59 After that ball with a fist across the face of goal.
03:08 On hand to Blastome. The rebound Salote denied but...
03:13 A brush off Salote. He was already...
03:20 On hand to Blastome. The rebound Salote denied but...
03:25 A brush off Salote. He was already...
03:30 Destined for the back of the net. Shoupir got something on it.
03:37 And Koki has put Egypt back in front. Tapping home from Averchi on the goal line.
03:46 Said did all the hard work. Koki just had to get something on it.
03:52 Egypt go right down the other end and...
03:55 I even have been going in even without the intervention from Koki.
03:59 But he wasn't going to leave anything to chance.
04:02 So Koki with his third of the tournament. Towards Koki.
04:09 There goes the half-time whistle.
04:13 It's Egypt who have the narrowest of advantage after the opening at 20 minutes.
04:19 It's been pulsating the first half here in Arabat.
04:23 The three-time champions leading the newcomers by three goals to two.
04:30 At the midway point of this Group B clash.
04:33 And debutants Namibia 3-2 at half-time to Egypt.
04:38 Namibia get us back under way.
04:41 After a really spirited first half. Despite twice coming from behind to level.
04:46 It was Koki's goal late in the first half that is the difference as things stand.
04:53 SM.
04:59 There he is and it's a 4-2.
05:02 Thanks to SM. Squeezes in.
05:05 Van Uyckel a little bit disappointed.
05:08 That one got past him.
05:10 Powerful strike but not to be there in time.
05:14 Van Uyckel look at it.
05:16 Came off his hands and sort of tipped underneath.
05:21 Straight in one for Namibia.
05:26 Pinned into a corner there.
05:29 Egypt have done well to escape.
05:31 SM finds Alashraou.
05:36 This time it's saved by...
05:39 Lovely one-two. Said gets it back. Said pulls it across.
05:43 And it's turned in by Koki.
05:46 All rolls beyond Van Uyckel.
05:50 Koki with his second. Got two in the opener.
05:53 Two more today.
05:55 And that gives Egypt some relief.
06:01 Looks on the faces of those on the bench.
06:09 Stamps of it.
06:12 Show their experience.
06:14 Making it count. But Willemse has a chance to make it 5-3 here.
06:18 Excellently done by Shapir.
06:20 Tried to knock it across for Salunga.
06:24 Rahim almost lost out there too.
06:27 Salote Bitsi is on the counter here.
06:28 Rahim.
06:30 Rahim.
06:30 And they have six now, Egypt.
06:35 A turn home at the near post by Alashraou.
06:41 Threads it past Van Uyckel.
06:46 A very commendable first half display.
06:49 Alashraou creases the gap to four now.
06:54 Egypt keep the scoreline down here.
06:57 Namibia give themselves a fighting chance.
07:02 Going into their third Group B game.
07:06 And will of course need results to go their way.
07:08 But Salote.
07:10 Oh, that's a brilliant save by Shapir.
07:13 Khalid goes down eventually.
07:16 As he pulled the trigger.
07:17 Ali.
07:19 Fresh legs.
07:20 And he cannons it against the crossbar.
07:24 Rocket of a shot from Ali.
07:26 Gorsab.
07:34 And that's steered wide.
07:35 Hi, Matisse.
07:41 And Salunga's lost it here too.
07:42 Khalid.
07:43 Khalid, can he make it seven?
07:44 Khalid.
07:45 Well done by Nsarouat.
07:50 Stays on his feet.
07:52 Salunga has it.
07:54 This time he goes past Khalid.
07:57 Again, cannot find a way past Shapir.
08:03 Khalid.
08:03 Khalid gets past Kamatuka.
08:06 And it's a tap in for Ali.
08:08 That makes it seven-two.
08:14 They really have turned the screw in this second half.
08:16 Egypt.
08:18 It's that early goal.
08:20 Made it four-two.
08:20 And since then, Egypt have really moved out of sight.
08:30 Seems a distant memory now.
08:33 Nsarouat.
08:35 Nsarouat with the goal.
08:36 Terrific strike from the keeper.
08:39 I think Shapir was unsighted by at least one
08:42 of the teammates in front of him.
08:45 Nsarouat, the unlikely source, coming on late.
08:50 Off the bench, replacing the starter CJ Van Wyk.
08:53 And Khalid keeps it in play.
08:57 Should be eight here, and it is.
08:59 Ali with another simple finish.
09:04 Well, their thoughts that they should have had a foul.
09:07 Egypt play on.
09:09 What's the decision?
09:11 So as Mateus was clean through against the post,
09:15 Khalid then kept it in play, went right down the other end
09:17 and laid it on a platter for Ali.
09:21 Nsarouat, the substitute keeper today for Namibia.
09:28 He's beaten again here, though, by Maradona.
09:31 An erring finish.
09:34 Increases the gap to six.
09:40 It was 3-2 at half time.
09:42 Trotsky on as well for Namibia.
09:48 Oh, they've made it 10.
09:49 Double digits right at the death.
09:52 And it's a hat-trick for Ali.
09:55 Firing it through the legs of Nsarouat.
09:58 Rubbing salt into those Namibian wounds.
10:07 As Egypt run away with this in the end,
10:10 beating Namibia by 10 goals to three.
10:14 It was just one goal in at half time,
10:16 and Egypt nearly turned on the style in the second half
10:22 to blow away.
