00:00And Benin are the team that get the ball rolling with Egypt playing in red, white and black.
00:07Back to their best, happy to be back in their colours of course as the ball's been tidied up just in the midfield.
00:15It'll be interesting to see just how fast Benin lead.
00:23The depth of this bench for Egypt is something that will be of a concern.
00:30Oh, it looks like there was a yellow card.
00:36That's a yellow card for Rabia.
00:39He puts his hand out and purposely handballs it as you can see there.
00:45Ole Chan surely whipping that in with his right foot.
00:48Here he goes, Ole Chan goes for a shot, straightens in the hands of Ole Chan.
00:52You saw that coming, getting in the way.
00:55Oh, that was nearly, it could have come.
00:57The National Pro League in the U.S.
01:02Signing from Kustosijar in Croatia.
01:06Great opportunity, this is, it's into the penalty box.
01:08There's a follow-up, but there's a player to clear the ball at the back.
01:12It is sometimes, but let's have a look at this once again.
01:14That's a handy delivery towards Mo Salah.
01:17And you can see that Tilgiani is there, and it comes back, and a chance there for Adele to get in.
01:23And that was a good opportunity.
01:25But he lunged towards the ball, and one of the teams that most Egyptians who grow up in the football-mad country will try and play for one day.
01:35That's a foul.
01:35And that's another yellow card as well.
01:38And Adele now following the yellow one from Ole Chan.
01:41But just look at that.
01:43And that's from behind.
01:44That's just not necessary on cess-seeded Alameda.
01:47Just come back from a thigh-strain injury.
01:49He doesn't want to have, you know, rake lines on the back of his.
01:51So that is the half here on me in sports.
01:59Nil-nil after 45 minutes of play.
02:01We'll take a short break.
02:02Come back with the highlights from this first half of football.
02:10Expecting much more involvement with Mo Salah's concerned, with Mamoosh's concerned, and probably some subs that will be game changers.
02:18Second half, just kick.
02:19That's what you can take from this Bannon squad.
02:22Nearly 10 minutes in.
02:23It's Egypt with a corner.
02:24It comes across.
02:25It's a chance.
02:25Oh, what a block.
02:28How it didn't go in.
02:30Denied.
02:32Point-blank range.
02:33Just look at that.
02:34That was the shot.
02:35Wow.
02:36Sensational.
02:37And that should have been delivered.
02:39Rabia was the player who got across.
02:43Two of their biggest teams in the Egyptian Premier League.
02:47Through ball.
02:48Perfectly dosed.
02:49There's Mo Salah.
02:50Mo Salah tries to use that left foot to lob D'Anjanou.
02:55The Bannon goalkeeper read it perfectly.
02:59Doesn't get shoved off the ball.
03:01And marks.
03:02No Bannon players in a dangerous position there.
03:05But the press is working well.
03:07As it's picked up by Uru.
03:08There's the through ball.
03:09And Bannon with a chance for a shot.
03:11And Shenoui comes to the rescue.
03:13Let's have a look at this again.
03:19That was the through ball.
03:20That was just top quality to D'Anjanou.
03:23And D'Anjanoui races onto that because the timing is delightful behind Rabia.
03:29He just kicks off his thighs basically.
03:35Yep.
03:36Could have caught him in the midriff area.
03:38That's his Elshanoui.
03:40Because he can.
03:40Yeah.
03:41But he needs to find a bit more confidence on the pitch as well.
03:44Because of the lack of time that he's had.
03:46There's Hanni.
03:47Hanni working with Salah.
03:48Salah.
03:49Salah gets the return pass.
03:51Is he going to get past this man?
03:52Hanni gets it back.
03:53Anybody there?
03:54It's followed up.
03:55There's a shot.
03:56Look at it.
03:57Atiyah.
03:58Atiyah gets the goal.
04:00It's a stunner.
04:02A stunner in Agatir from Atiyah against D'Anjanoui.
04:07Yep.
04:08The build up to this goal is something to marvel.
04:11Great composure in terms of the build up.
04:13A quick one-two between Mo Salah as well.
04:16The third man running.
04:17These are the options in and around the ball carrier.
04:20Calmly tucked away into the top corner.
04:25As cool as you like.
04:28The outstretched fingertips of D'Anjanoui just couldn't quite get there.
04:34But that was spectacular.
04:36As they try and build a new dynasty.
04:37At the back it goes.
04:39Picking up the ball.
04:40Looking to try and...
04:41Oh.
04:41Oh.
04:42Dispossessed.
04:43Well, that was very, very dense.
04:45Yellow card offense as well for Fatih.
04:47And they're quick.
04:50Benin are very quick.
04:51Look at that.
04:51Read the ball.
04:52Communicate better.
04:53And you won't have that happen.
04:54Yeah.
04:55Those are the basics.
04:57Any coach can tell you.
04:58Never play a square ball in those areas.
05:00Especially for defenders.
05:02But oncoming attackers like Olitan could have stolen it.
05:05Pickpocket you in that midfield.
05:07And that could be danger.
05:08We talk about hospital passes.
05:09We've seen...
05:10Whenever they get any kind of an opportunity.
05:12They will take it.
05:12You can see that.
05:13You can feel it.
05:14It's in the air.
05:14As they give the ball away once again.
05:16They pick the ball out.
05:17That's a wonderful look.
05:18Chance for a shot there.
05:19But it's Alok who gets the ball out to that man.
05:22Oh, it's gone in.
05:25It's on the inclination.
05:26It came for the red.
05:28Dosser.
05:29Unbelievable.
05:30The scene's here in Agadir.
05:34Let's have a look at this again.
05:35El Shenoui gives the ball away.
05:39They pick it back up.
05:40That was the opportunity.
05:41Comes out to the right-hand side.
05:43And there's the delivery.
05:44Takes that deflection.
05:51Great save from El Shenoui.
05:52But the follow-up from Dosser.
05:54Right place, right time.
05:55Look at that.
05:56It nearly...
05:57That's a brilliant save.
05:58You've got to give credit to El Shenoui.
06:00But look where it falls.
06:02No one's going to get there before a Benin player.
06:05And Dosser delivers at the perfect time.
06:08Good through ball.
06:15This is nicely done.
06:16It's been picked up.
06:17Mo Salah.
06:18Mo Salah.
06:19Oh, it's a great save from the goalkeeper.
06:21How many times have we seen Mo Salah coming out for Liverpool, finding himself...
06:26Hassan.
06:26He's only 22 years of age.
06:27But he comes over and takes away Dosser.
06:30I like that.
06:30You know, when the youngsters do that, it basically tells us that...
06:33A chain reaction, internal distances equal, and certainly pushed Egypt all the way.
06:39That's it.
06:40That's the end of the 90 minutes.
06:47I mean, you've already seen Mali going into a penalty shootout.
06:51So Egypt really wouldn't want to be in that sort of scenario.
06:54But...
06:55I think it's off the back of Atajiku.
06:58They take it quickly.
06:59They're moving forward.
07:00This is what Egypt are really good at.
07:02There's the...
07:03Chip, it's a good header.
07:05Oh, what a goal!
07:07That is just incredible!
07:09Yasir, the centre-back.
07:11Yalla!
07:12Yasir, Yalla!
07:17Well, the short corner with Fatou.
07:20It's brought back.
07:21That's the delivery that comes in.
07:23Look at that header.
07:26Atajik with the assist.
07:30Yasir with that angled header.
07:33Looping over the top.
07:35Skins the post and hits the back of the net.
07:38Absolutely sublime.
07:40You won't see better than that, Amanda.
07:42Yep.
07:44Top build-up.
07:45Top bin.
07:46Amanda, for you, in terms of tactics for Egypt,
07:50and tactics for Benin, starting with Egypt.
07:53I think for Egypt, they are very susceptible to errors that is there at back four.
07:58I wouldn't really want to toy around with ball possession in my own half.
08:03It's been great.
08:03Hassan, he's been solid indeed.
08:06Working so hard for Benin, of course.
08:12There's a chance for them.
08:13He's been knocked off his feet.
08:14The referee says no.
08:16There's no yellow card.
08:17That will be a yellow card.
08:18That's quite dangerous, that is.
08:20And there's going to be a straight yellow for Atajik.
08:22The fact is that you've got to be a little bit careful.
08:25And although he didn't really make much contact with Zizou,
08:28who luckily evaded those outstretches.
08:32Oh, the control from Mo Salah.
08:34Mo Salah, what's he got in the left of the tank?
08:36Still going.
08:38He's been pulled.
08:39He's still going.
08:40The yellow card, he wanted to carry on.
08:42Of course he wanted to carry on El Invi.
08:45Minutes the way that he just held him.
08:47Look at that.
08:48Started there.
08:48He's not letting go.
08:49He's not letting go.
08:50And he manages to break free.
08:52And then finally, the yellow card comes out.
08:53He's going to get the ball rolling once again.
08:56And the referee wants to get that.
08:58Keep the clock ticking.
09:01As Rabia's down on the ground.
09:03There it is.
09:03Now, Mo Salah.
09:04The goalkeeper's out.
09:05Mo Salah.
09:06Mo Salah.
09:07Mo Salah.
09:08Mo Salah gets his 10th Afghan goal.
09:13The third Egyptian to score 10 goals for Egypt and Africa combinations.
09:22Yep.
09:22A perfectly executed counter-attack.
09:26The weight of the pass.
09:27The speed.
09:28The options on the ball.
09:29Mo Salah.
09:29One-for-one situation.
09:31Doesn't want to do any complicated things.
09:34Sends it over the goalkeeper.
09:36To break the hearts of Benin.
09:40And there it is.
09:43Egypt have done it.
09:46Egypt move on.
09:48And they will head into the quarterfinals for the 21st time.
09:55in an illustrious historical Africa Cup of Nations history that they've carved out over the years as they push on through in a bid to win their eighth title.
10:11A magical moment, a masterful moment from Mo Salah, but a hard-fought victory against a fantastic Benin team who showed up in this round of 16 clash.
10:26That's the final score, Egypt 3, Benin 1.
