00:00 [Crickets chirping]
00:02 [Whistle]
00:03 Amber underway then, Egypt in their usual red tops, black shorts.
00:07 Heavy favourites here against the Mauritanian side who,
00:12 although it's theoretically possible for them to go through to the semi-finals,
00:16 even with a loss.
00:17 [Crickets chirping]
00:19 Kharidjic, Esom works it nicely.
00:21 [Crickets chirping]
00:23 A lovely little finish there from Alashwell, his second goal of the competition,
00:27 having scored also in that 10-3 win at Gove in Namibia.
00:31 [Crickets chirping]
00:35 Namibia do win that game against Namibia, that means they have to beat Egypt.
00:39 The Mauritanian don't have any chance of going through to the semi-final.
00:41 That's a great shot off the post and the...
00:44 [Whistle]
00:46 Now...
00:47 [Crickets chirping]
00:48 Salah to the shot and again I think is that off the post or did it hit the...
00:52 [Crickets chirping]
00:53 Kharidjic just moving the ball back and forth here at the moment,
00:56 looking to move their opponents around, trying to create a space to run into.
01:00 [Crickets chirping]
01:02 Oh, they've lost the ball out of the pitch here and an opportunity knocks here for Mauritania
01:06 and they've taken the lead.
01:07 [Crickets chirping]
01:10 Fourth minute and Mauritania into a shock lead here.
01:13 [Crickets chirping]
01:17 Nyaku with his third goal.
01:19 [Crickets chirping]
01:22 [Whistle]
01:23 Well, the run-up's about half the length of the pitch here for Rahim.
01:27 Takes the shot, blasts it wide.
01:30 Right-hand side then a good block on the edge of the area now.
01:33 Mauritania can play on the counter-attack.
01:35 There are men down from each side there and that's a very good stop.
01:38 And is that 2-0? Yes, it is.
01:40 [Crickets chirping]
01:42 Well, well, well.
01:44 [Crickets chirping]
01:49 This really is a turn-up for the books, isn't it?
01:52 Number 7, Ahmed.
01:55 [Crickets chirping]
01:56 So, Mamed.
01:58 That's the goal he scored against Ndombe.
02:00 [Crickets chirping]
02:02 Back on match day one.
02:04 Good save initially, but then the presence of mind from Bebe
02:08 was to pick out Mamed rather than going for goal himself.
02:12 [Crickets chirping]
02:14 But Mauritania here.
02:16 [Crickets chirping]
02:24 Oh, dribbles past, makes some space for the shot.
02:26 Oh, that's a beautiful finish.
02:28 Off the chest there from Koki.
02:31 [Crickets chirping]
02:35 The tournament for the solid number 9.
02:39 [Crickets chirping]
02:46 And Egypt finally on the board here.
02:50 Really composed finish.
02:52 Nice play from Egypt.
02:54 [Crickets chirping]
02:56 Is this going to be the long-range blast from Sal?
02:59 Sal does take the kick, and that wasn't all that far wide.
03:02 The keeper was certainly worried.
03:04 [Crickets chirping]
03:11 Comes out for Sal, and that's 3-1.
03:14 Goal for Mauritania.
03:16 Wow, wow, wow.
03:18 By number 10, Sal.
03:21 ...Namibia, seen Namibia come from 3-1 down to get to 3-3 at halftime.
03:25 It's actually Mauritania topping the group on the head-to-head at the moment,
03:30 meaning they would go through to play Angola in the next round.
03:33 Egypt would have to face two-time defeat with that either.
03:37 The throw goes long.
03:39 The opportunity there, and well chipped over the keeper,
03:42 but over the crossbar as well.
03:44 [Crickets chirping]
03:49 Now Esser tries to cut on to his right foot.
03:54 Keeping the ball well here.
03:55 Egypt, oh, what a strike that is from Maradona.
03:59 Well, that was more like it, wasn't it?
04:04 Sensational strike from Maradona.
04:07 His third goal of the competition
04:11 after getting a brace against Namibia last time out.
04:14 Smashes that into the top corner.
04:17 [Crickets chirping]
04:22 Been lost, and there's an opportunity here on the counterattack.
04:25 Yacoub puts the ball across as well.
04:27 Defending the shot first time comes in from last second half.
04:31 Rahim goes past.
04:33 Nice pass inside there, and that's a very well-worked goal from Egypt.
04:38 [Crickets chirping]
04:43 And we're back to 3-3.
04:46 Play from the number 10, the movement in front of him.
04:52 Maradona onto his left foot.
04:53 Good save from the goalkeeper, and then hoofed clear by Sal.
05:00 Nice play this from Mauritania.
05:02 Making room for the shot here.
05:04 Well, this could be opportunity, and cleared off the line,
05:06 and then slammed in by Chandoura.
05:09 And Mauritania back in the lead.
05:11 [Crickets chirping]
05:17 Sensational for Mauritania.
05:20 Head back from 3-1 to 3-3.
05:22 They could have folded.
05:23 They've reacted and retaken the lead here.
05:26 Nice play.
05:27 Abdu nearly getting his first goal of the game.
05:31 [Whistle blows]
05:35 Cleared off the line, and Chandoura there to slam it into the--
05:38 Now then, Egypt have got to do it all over again now.
05:43 Here's Essam.
05:46 To the left foot.
05:47 Surely that's the equalizer.
05:48 Yes, it is from Koki.
05:50 Goal for Egypt by number nine, Koki.
05:54 [Whistle blows]
05:57 Second goal of the game.
06:02 Game starting to open up now.
06:04 End-to-end stuff here.
06:08 Keeper well out of position.
06:10 Didn't need to be there.
06:11 There was a defender already covering.
06:14 And that defensive discipline that has served Mauritania so well
06:17 throughout this match so far.
06:24 Goes to Rahim on this near side.
06:26 Rahim goes past his man, slims the ball in there,
06:29 and it's unfortunate for the goalkeeper.
06:31 Goal for Egypt by number four, Rahim.
06:37 And Rahim will claim that one.
06:43 His third goal.
06:44 He's now scored in all three games in the group phase.
06:51 Unfortunate for the keeper.
06:54 Rahim did well there to change things up.
06:57 What they weren't doing in the first half, Egypt,
06:59 he went down the line onto his so-called weak--
07:05 Oh, and another thunderbolt from Maradona.
07:09 That's two now where he's cutting off the left of the--
07:12 Defending hasn't quite been sharp enough.
07:23 Not quite as impressive as his strike eight minutes ago.
07:29 Still nothing the keeper could really do about that.
07:32 Puts the back, turns inside, and gets free.
07:39 Really--
07:41 Also a couple of players in this Mauritania side
07:44 as they go forwards here.
07:45 And they have got a goal back.
07:47 Well, well.
07:48 Goal for Mauritania by number 13, Chandora.
07:52 Chandora.
07:52 Breathing life into Mauritania's--
08:05 The second goal of the game.
08:07 Nice turn.
08:09 Cute finish as well.
08:12 Tries to gee up the--
08:14 Trying to get a foothold back in the game again.
08:16 Ball down the left.
08:24 Fizzed across the goal.
08:27 Jakub there was trying to get in on the end of that
08:31 in case he could get his head on it.
08:33 He's done himself a mischief again.
08:35 Clattered into the net, completely
08:37 taking it off its moorings.
08:38 You see it here, he's waiting for the cross.
08:49 Just couldn't stop himself.
08:50 Got completely tangled up in the net.
08:52 The whole thing's gone over into the advertising boards.
08:55 With the ball here, Koke turns it around the corner nicely.
09:06 Here is Koke again.
09:08 Looking to bring other players into it, and that's 7-5 to Egypt.
09:13 Really nice move.
09:15 And eventually finished off by Said in the 36th minute.
09:22 As Egypt restore their two-goal cushion.
09:25 Said picks up his second goal of the competition.
09:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:35 Based in Torsi, the Brizian sub is a nice turn
09:47 and a brilliant finish as well from Jendora.
09:51 38th minute, Jendora completes his hat trick.
09:55 And this game isn't over yet.
10:01 What a time for the 21-year-old to burst into life
10:04 in this competition, a hat trick against the might of Egypt.
10:09 I think he might be having an Egypt timeout here.
10:13 Just a couple of minutes left to play.
10:15 Mamed takes the kick in.
10:19 Would have had the shot now, and it goes over
10:21 as the buzzer sounds, and that's it.
10:23 And Egypt have held on here.
10:26 And the Sal Prince Boulai Abdallah in Rabat.
10:29 They have completed their journey through--
10:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:38 (upbeat music)
