00:00Mr. Ndabi Hawenemana, here we go.
00:04South Africa, of course, playing in their familiar yellow shirts with red,
00:09white and black, Marmoush, Mo Salah, Marmoush it looks like.
00:16Ron Ron Williams, there's Marmoush in the shallow, it goes wide.
00:20Not far off the target, but a scoring opportunity.
00:25Let's have a look at this again, right footed.
00:28Oh, it's not far as Mito, it starts to move a little bit further away,
00:32but right between the two defenders, Gazzana and Settoli.
00:39He comes in to deal with that midfield, to make the team playing.
00:42If it is that you see Mo Salah, Mo Salah started out on the right,
00:45but in today's match, he's making those box entries directly from the middle.
00:49That's a great ball up towards Foster, Foster, can he get past his man?
00:53He's quick, he gets a shot in.
00:55Well, it's been pounced on there by El Shenawi, but look what he does.
00:58The Burnley man lighting it up for South Africa.
01:01And the first real attempt on goal for South Africa.
01:05But at the other end, watch out, because there's danger everywhere.
01:08And you can see that Trezeguet just getting a little bit too physical in his final lunge there.
01:13So giving those midfielders that little extra meter or two is just not happening as much as it did at the very start.
01:21But Mo Salah, Mo Salah picks the ball up, his control, he can't quite keep the ball at his feet.
01:27And again, the South African defense is...
01:30Was there a hand that went up or something?
01:33Yeah, there it is, that's the hands and the face.
01:36There we go, and we are going to VAR.
01:40Straight down to the screen.
01:45Such an important moment this is, with three and a half minutes left to play in the first half.
02:04Let's see what the referee comes up with here, Amanda.
02:11When you called it, you said, that should be a yellow card.
02:14You can't touch the face like that.
02:16You know, you throw your arms up in the air, but you can't touch a player who's in the penalty box in the face like that.
02:26Yeah, I think the sense of awareness, Mudao, I don't think he had in the moment of extending that arm.
02:33Yes, you can, but not in the eyes or the face of the player.
02:36And in that moment, you're competing in a duel inside the box.
02:41It's just always easy to just clear, play it safe.
02:44But he was on the right side of the goal, so he's blocking the goal.
02:48But you just get in the way, you don't try and, you know, get in the way of someone's face.
02:53And I think it's an area of improvement for Mudao.
02:56I mean, I watch him every week in the PSL, but he just needs to stay away from committing those kind of fouls.
03:03Here's the verdict.
03:04It's coming your way.
03:06Penalty or no penalty?
03:12Penalty it is.
03:14And Egypt have a chance to go ahead, Mo Salah.
03:20With contact in the eye from Kaliso Mudao.
03:25And it offers them a chance to try and strike before halftime.
03:35He's done it before, can he do it again?
03:38Mo Salah.
03:39Mo Salah!
03:40Mo Salah!
03:41Puts each at the head!
03:43A sumptuous strike from the marvelous Mo Salah to offer the Pharoahs a 1-0 lead.
03:55Big moment for Mo Salah.
03:57And these are the moments that he's made for.
04:01Composure goes right straight the line.
04:05Ronan Williams with no chance.
04:08Pressure penalty for the right man, Mo Salah.
04:11How cool was that strike?
04:13How cool was that penalty?
04:15You talk about what he's capable of doing.
04:18Well, a gimme, isn't it, for South Africa?
04:21Offering Egypt the chance to get that goal in the first place.
04:24They have to try and work in that final third.
04:27They have to try and get more possession in the second half.
04:30They have to get scoring opportunities.
04:33And that midfield is going to be primordial for them to create chances.
04:38Yep.
04:39We spoke about just how defensive maybe the starting lineup was.
04:42Four defenders and three defensive midfielders, including Mugueno who stays down.
04:48But who is the playmaker to really try and get them on the transition?
04:51They tackle from Hanni.
04:53That's a nasty challenge.
04:55A very nasty challenge.
04:57And Hanni, he's already picked up.
05:02Did he get that yellow card?
05:03Yeah.
05:04He's on a yellow.
05:05Yeah.
05:06It's going to be a red for Hanni.
05:07That's a nasty slam of the right foot on Mukuena.
05:10Absolutely.
05:11It's not because it's close to the paints, isn't it?
05:12Absolutely.
05:13But look at that.
05:14That is nasty.
05:15That's a nasty, nasty.
05:17But how about that drama?
05:19We love a bit of drama, Amanda.
05:20We love all the drama.
05:22There's the half-time whistle.
05:25Well, Egypt leads South Africa by a goal to nil.
05:31Mbata, who's gone off the Orlando Pirates player, and it's Boulet who comes on to replace him in the midfield.
05:43It's only the fourth time that they've won their opener.
05:49First time was, as I said, 2004 and then 2000.
05:53Good ball to Trezegate.
05:54Left-hand side.
05:55I'll forget it.
05:56I'll just throw down my stats at the moment and get back to the action,
05:59because I think it's all happening here.
06:01Free kick, Trezegate, Mahmoud Trezegate.
06:05He scored some wonderful, not too many goals.
06:08A chance, and it's gone over there, and Ashour has his effort blocked there by Williams.
06:14Well, he's been cocked fair and square on that occasion, hasn't he?
06:22That was the quick take from Trezegate, Zizou, and then Salah to Ashour, beautifully worked.
06:28Beautifully worked indeed.
06:31Beautifully worked indeed.
06:32Ashour coming in with the fresh legs.
06:34He's now...
06:35Couldn't get his cross quite over.
06:36It's just...
06:37Took a deflection.
06:38But back in possession for Fana Fana, who are just bossing it in terms of possession.
06:47The lofted ball.
06:48It's a good opportunity this one.
06:50A shot coming in!
06:51It's saved by El Shanaoui.
06:53Driven in beautifully there.
06:55Change coming for South Africa, as we can see.
07:00There's the shot that came through, and it was a beautiful drive on his own.
07:04Oh, lovely ball.
07:06Mo Salah, an opportunity.
07:08Zizou, Trezegate is there.
07:10Trezegate asking for it, calling for it.
07:12Zizou.
07:13Squares it.
07:14Another chance.
07:15Mo Salah goes to the shot.
07:16It just goes over.
07:17Great opportunity there.
07:19Pandifati.
07:20Picks up here quickly, Moremi.
07:23Pulls it back.
07:25Chance for a delivery coming over.
07:28Again, it's all about that defense, that Egyptian defense.
07:32That's a good ball into the penalty box.
07:34A little backflag!
07:35That's a great effort!
07:36What a save from El Shanaoui.
07:39South Africa from a splendid piece of work there.
07:43And it was great from Audrey Modiba.
07:46The lovely touch into his path, and he just couldn't drive that.
07:51Solid defensive work from the Faroes.
07:54Mukwenna squares the ball.
07:56A chance.
07:57It's been lofted very quickly up towards El Shanaoui.
08:00Mukwenna onside.
08:02The shot.
08:03Maybe the shot.
08:04Oh, it's a fluffed effort.
08:05Right on the edge of the penalty box.
08:07Well, well.
08:09A free kick.
08:10First player to go up.
08:11That was the lofted ball.
08:13It comes back out.
08:14Mukwenna picks it up.
08:16Well.
08:21The ball is the call.
08:25And it's in.
08:26Oh, wow.
08:30Tibuho Mukwenna will fire in another corner.
08:40Into the penalty box.
08:41There's the header!
08:42Oh, it was there.
08:43It was on his own.
08:46Cleared by El Shanaoui.
08:48Still group stages.
08:49Picked up by Atia.
08:50Nicely done.
08:51Comes out to the left-hand side.
08:58Shaw, great ball over to the right side.
09:00A chance for a shot potentially.
09:02Collected by Shahata.
09:03Shahata.
09:04There's the shot coming in.
09:05It's dealt with by Williams.
09:07Thrown out very quickly.
09:10To the right side.
09:16Atia.
09:20Yasser marshalling.
09:21Shahata hits it high.
09:23100 minutes played here on Agadeer.
09:28That's not the right ball, is it?
09:33Ashur.
09:36Ashur.
09:37Ashur.
09:38Ashur.
09:39One-man mission, maybe.
09:40Goes to the right-hand side.
09:41Now he waits for a little bit of support.
09:46And the LLE midfielder goes down.
09:50And then protects the ball.
09:53And commits the foul.
09:55Left side.
09:56A moment of magic, maybe, for South Africa as they
10:00desperately seek this goal that's eluded them today.
10:10Now, the shot!
10:11It's gone in!
10:12Oh!
10:13It's just gone wide!
10:14The danger man unleashes the shot, of course.
10:19Look at this once again.
10:21That's the strike that we expect from Tebohomokoena.
10:25El-Shenawi.
10:28The header.
10:29There it is!
10:31And Egypt have broken a puddle.
10:36They've managed to beat South Africa for the first time.
10:40That is the strike of the first time!
10:50Amazing!
10:51I hate to be a huge fan of everyone there.
10:53Thank you for the first time!
10:55Mackæ•‘ Me!!
10:58Okay.
11:00Wow!
11:01There it is!
11:02It's crazy!
11:03You have to turn the stick.
11:04The next?
11:04Come, you?
11:06You can check the stick.
11:07I need to pick up the stick.
11:08And the other?
