00:22so the captains meet Dele Alli placed in Iraq with El Hedda
00:30he is himself his feet for the cross
00:51going for the near post
00:52Zizo over the ball with the right foot was just a dummy there
00:59coming from Fatih all over the top looking for Zizo
01:07Mahmoud Salah scored twice against Bayern Munich at the weekend
01:13it is a Mauritania on the attack there the shot from Abu Bakr Kamara
01:22instead is Zizo, Zizo has the shot at goal
01:36nice ball into the back post and nearly on the end of it there
01:42the flag going up for offside I think in the Jurgen Klopp era
01:47ball chipped over the top great opportunity this
01:51well Hamdi the left back made the forward run picked out there by Rami Rabia
01:56picking out Hamdi again once another cross into the box towards Zizo
02:01now that free kick comes in shoots deflects goes off the roof of the goal there
02:07there'll be a corner to come as well for Mauritania and that is why
02:11giving away the free kick like that was so food interception
02:17Mohamed Aid Mauritania player stays dead and the rights he's always said
02:24cuts inside tries to find the run of Salah season he had at Anfield
02:29and he's just been doing it again and again and again and Rami Rabia
02:34and Papagiade have to be careful here
02:41side Salah you know he wants to cut it onto his left and he's just been clipped there no foul
02:45says the referee and the shot comes in that's a flying save from Diop
02:52down by Aid
03:03slung back in there and then the header goes at just over the bar from Trezeguet
03:08great first time ball though from Attia Rabia puts one over the top for Salah
03:15does well to kick hook the ball back in play and then the volley goes way over
03:22oh good cross from Mo's Attia back in towards Salah lays it off Salah again can't make space
03:31for the shot then the shot does come in from Mahmoush well blocked and then the
03:34possession chipped over to the left hand side now loads of players there and the
03:38dipping shot just over the bar Trezeguet this time
03:42Mauritania
03:50oh Mauritania have lost the ball now and they've got lots of players
03:53they're on side of it and that was a vital challenge if not to win the ball back
03:57but still in possession brings more players into play then the shot comes in from distance and it's
04:03a slightly shanked wide and now Aid in plenty of space on this right hand side measures a nice
04:08cross in there headed up rather than away and then the foul goes against Trezeguet
04:20oh and here is Salah that offside flag goes up
04:31teasing ball into the back post Trezeguet now
04:34looks up pings the ball in four minutes away Matt flicked on by Mahmoush
04:43down to the left the cross
04:47comes in headed away from the edge of the area Salah now the cross field ball from Attia picks
04:54out Salah but the offside flag goes up against the Liverpool wide Matt
04:58two minutes to go or two minutes of time to be added on and he was on
05:06maybe can they get something more here
05:12a bit of a shock he was left out of the starting line but he's back in there for the second half now
05:24away then for the second half Egypt our hosts Egypt tries to find the run of Salah
05:36nice first touch there from Trezeguet and it's Mahmoush and that's a good save
05:41sharp to his right from Dion
05:45first corner of the second half goes to Egypt
05:49go go from Rabia now then Trezeguet trying to bring the ball forward chopped down halfway
05:58going to be another booking here or first of the game for Mauritania
06:04on just outside and it's come to that just that one outside is Mahmoush of the area this time
06:09you've seen keeping an eye on him the keeper comes out gets a good strong fist on it place
06:13to play into his Salah running at his man tries to put the ball across Egypt absolutely bossing
06:20possession can Salah get on the end of this yes he can he can keep hopefully not out for too long
06:26with that one both the club men up here for Mauritania Mahmoush tries to go past his man
06:40simply wrestled to the floor there
06:44stand over the ball taken short to Trezeguet he then goes to the far post tries to find Rabia
06:50but the offside flag goes up and Rabia slams the ball into the Mauritania do with the set piece
06:56well they haven't managed to get rid of the ball yet Egypt and the now eventually the ball deflects
07:01across for Mohammed from going through and all of a sudden there's possibly space at the other end
07:06eventually no he doesn't eventually get the ball half won it back half lost
07:13trying to find space with the crossfield ball nicely chested down by Aiden
07:20about to see so teasing ball in only half
07:27and finally Egypt have broken the deadlock it's taken 69 minutes but what a strike
07:35fantastic hit from Trezeguet that's three games and three qualification games now
07:45well what have Mauritania got by way of response to that they've defended
07:52stoutly the defended well they've offered occasional danger on the counter-attack
08:05so what can they do but Trezeguet couldn't quite keep the ball for himself as Rabia
08:13goes back there feeds come forwards again a little bit of space opens up on the edge of
08:18the area this could be danger here Nelson was wrong-footed as that shot went across
08:24got made some adjustments leave it look much better afterwards now on the attack again here
08:29chance here for Salah and that's 2-0
08:33and surely now that is the points in the bag for the pharaohs
08:41Mohammed Hamdi got three down the left
08:50and Egypt's two top scorers in both World Cup and AFCON qualification or current AFCON
08:58World Cup qualification have both hit the back of the net here today in Cairo
09:06Salah been a little bit quiet in the second half but that's why you keep him on the pitch
09:11good run from Hamdi just got him behind his man
