00:00the way here then in Cairo Egypt kicking from at the left to right
00:29in this first half in their usual red tops and white shorts Mauritania in
00:34their favoured green
00:45good to see Hammond Hamdi over there actually playing slightly out of position on the
00:51left-hand side of this Egyptian side today
01:00close by the keeper going for the near post it's up instead is Zizek Zizek has
01:07the shot at goal
01:10Pando doubling up in vulnerable areas Zizek now pops up on the left-hand side
01:19makes space for the shot deflects across goal nicely chested down by Aied
01:25slung back in there and then the header goes up just over the bar from Trezeguet
01:30great first time ball though from Attia side they've got an overlap there as
01:34well cutting back in is Trezeguet, Attia, Aied on this near side now
01:45teasing ball into the back post Trezeguet can't get there, here's Hamdi, Hamdi tries to set up
01:51Attia, kicks it off to Ward-Sullivan it wasn't the best of passes now Mauritania
01:56back on the ball again what a lovely little turn from Rousseif
02:02Aied couldn't make the intercept and then
02:07Anshanawi wanting to get the game back underway quickly that's going to be the
02:12last action from the first half here at the Cairo International Stadium a couple
02:17of shaking heads in the stands but by and large I mean Egypt have played
02:22well but Mauritania have defended stoutly there have been some good
02:27opportunities the Mauritanians certainly have a bone of contention of some
02:32description with the referee from that first half we'll try and get a bit more
02:37on that later
02:48away then for the second half Egypt our hosts kicking from a right to left in
02:56this first half Mil-Mil at the break the Faroes expecting better in the second
03:05half Drabia brings the ball forwards down the right-hand side finds Salah
03:10hugging the touchline Zizo one touch gets the ball back to Attia this is a
03:16little bit inaccurate for that one
03:20Fatih the ball over here to Hamdi, Hamdi can't find the pass
03:29Attia, that's a Zizo, teasing ball in, only half
03:35That's an absolute belter from Teresa Gueye
03:37Then finally Egypt have broken the deadlock it's taken 69 minutes
03:42well what a strike fantastic hit from Teresa Gueye that's three games and three
03:48qualification games now
03:56well what a Mauritania got by way of response to that they've defended
04:02stoutly, they've defended well, they've offered occasional danger on the
04:10counter-attack
04:17what can they do to open up that will give Egypt more space to attack into
04:25lovely ball in here from Zizo half defended and smashed in on the volley
04:31what a hit
04:38well you simply don't stop those you can have three goalkeepers in there they
04:42still wouldn't stop that one this will be the perfect angle to watch it from
04:45look absolutely smashed it top corner I think the coach might have been proud of
04:51that one if he hit it himself
04:54just better afterwards and surely now that is the points in the bag for the
05:08pharaohs
05:14Mohamed Hamdi got three down the left
05:20Egypt's two top scorers in both World Cup and AFCON qualification or current
05:29AFCON and even a third qualification of both
05:36nice ball in headed away by Mahmouche really where you want Europe's in form
05:45striking an opportunity here for Mauritania and a brilliant sprawling
05:49challenge coming in from Rami Rabia that looked like for all the world like
05:55Mauritania were about to get a goal back here and I think he might have clocked
05:59his own goalkeeper into the lovely touch there going for the one two then the
06:07shot comes in but it's just sense it's like long from the back and that's a
06:12nice ball as well just to pick out the substitute mayor and now opportunity
06:18knocks here fatty tried to feed the ball in but couldn't pick out a red shirt
06:24maybe an opportunity here for Mauritania on a one last counter-attack just to get
06:29a consolation goal
06:32it's a gone we've got to take the ball with it
06:41that's out
06:46now room for me to run into space in the middle the offside flag goes up against
06:54Egypt again another was no real urgency now from Egypt we're past the six
07:00minutes of added time maybe just opportunity to put some gloss on the
07:04score line I'll have one last corner will Egypt have it back to us here and
07:11now it's just gonna be keep all until the referee finally blows his whistle
07:21still no sign of it he's looking at his watch the referee decided oh yes
07:30that is it for our game it'll be reverse fixtures from matchday 3 and 4
07:37in the qualifiers so October 15 Egypt will travel to Mauritania thank you for
07:42joining us here today stay tuned for more
