00:00the world cup hoping for his team to get off to a quick start in qualifying for the 2027
00:09africa cup of nations
00:17very good header from emma ashore
00:34not the best of challenges either from zito levumbo he may say
00:40a one-all draw in mauretania and a three-nil victory over the central african republic
00:49angola despite being semi-regulars at the afcon have only qualified for
00:58one world cup in their history which
01:02jolanta mbuatu couldn't believe that the decision didn't go his team's way
01:08space for a shot maybe although a good block in there from jolanda gaspar
01:15where he goes levumbo and he's fouled by ashore
01:23ashore has an excellent goal scoring level um goal scoring record at club
01:31ashore goes around the outside ashore pulls it back here's a chance for egypt and it's curled just
01:36wide by mahmoud saber well that's the best we've seen of the pharaohs so far
01:50ashore just skipping away from gaspar
01:58it's a good pick out as well but saber couldn't provide the finish to zealand
02:08zico's onside here this could be the opening goal and egypt have scored well zico
02:16had given angola a warning not long ago
02:26when he sprung the offside trap
02:31although wow that's a very late flag
02:35there were some bemused faces there
02:39in the egypt team let's have a look zico's running behind well it doesn't get any tighter than that
02:52melissa
02:53mabla london
02:54lou vumbo
02:56milson left the ball behind
03:00milson
03:06per
03:09Perhaps.
03:13Fourth time, it goes short.
03:16Hanni might think about a shot.
03:18Does shoot and takes the deflection and flies over.
03:26Angola players are saying it hit Rami Rabia.
03:31It did.
03:33Another corner, though, for Egypt.
03:34Pace, hard fought.
03:39Yet to have his first real chance.
03:45Mabululu went close.
03:47Of course, Zico had a goal ruled out for offside.
03:59Salah, beaten to the ball by Watu, but unfairly, says referee Kamaku.
04:17All about the shot went down very easily, but there was a dangling leg.
04:23And now there might be a shooting chance for Egypt from the free kick.
04:40Headed away by Hanni.
04:45Lovumbo breaks nicely for Mabululu.
04:48It's a decent try.
04:51Comfortable in the end for Ufa Schober.
04:56And it hasn't been a half without incident, but it is goalless.
05:02Promising start for Aliusese in charge of Angola in competitive football.
05:13And a slightly disappointing return to action for Egypt after the World Cup.
05:20An opening group B 2027 African qualifier.
05:24And it is the seven-time African champions who get it.
05:31Mahmoud cuts inside.
05:34Finds Zico trying to bundle his way through and lost control of the ball.
05:46Today wasn't the first time that Zico's had a goal disallowed.
05:54What would have been one of the all-time great World Cup goals was heated discussion with his opposite number,
06:02Hasan.
06:28A short corner taken and there's no pressure on the ball here.
06:31Decent ball in and it's good goalkeeping from Schober.
06:36Punch is clear.
06:39Gaspar was in there challenging, but the cross just too close to Schober.
06:52Still had to be brave though, the goalkeeper with Gaspar charging in.
07:01Play goes on for now though. Ash Short goes for goal from range.
07:06Well hit, but speculative at best.
07:22Abdel Kareem made his Barcelona senior debut in August.
07:27Must have something about him, the 18 year old.
07:31Good punch away by Schober.
07:36And it was a foul by Mabalulu.
07:47The other player to come on was Zizo.
07:52He has scored in his last two games for Al-Akli.
07:59Hanni, time to size up the cross and it's a decent one as well.
08:04Headed behind by Chialonda Gaspar.
08:06It will be another Egypt corner.
08:11Pressure just starting to grow on that Angola defence.
08:21Haven't made any substitutions yet.
08:26Milsson still going.
08:28Angola might be in here.
08:30Milsson took it on himself and blazed it high over the crossbar.
08:38Brilliant work initially from Milsson.
08:42Poor defending.
08:47It's a good run from Lachine.
08:53It will be a yellow card.
08:57Young Kelliano.
09:02No complaints.
09:03He knew what he was doing and it was a foul that had more lowly ranked Malawi and South Sudan
09:11to come.
09:15Egypt would have wanted to get all three points at home though.
09:19Marmouche had an opportunity to shoot there and went for the slide rule pass.
09:30A good start to life at Manchester City but the goal's dried up perhaps for the first time.
09:37Ali Mahmoud, the substitute, brings in Fatou.
09:42Decent cross and put behind for a goal kick by Abdul Karim.
09:47Acrobatic effort but good defending once more by Angola.
09:55And there is the final whistle.
09:58It's an excellent start for Aliou Cisse in competitive football as Angola coach.
10:08They've battled to a well-deserved goalless draw here in Cairo with Egypt.
10:19They had a game, who told me why.
10:21I'll eventually play a game for two weeks.
10:21They have a game.
10:22There is one game.
10:22You don't need any.
10:22You have gonna get some fun for you, when you play the game.
10:22You're gonna get one game!
10:23But you're gonna get a game, Jorge.
10:23Then, there's my game.
10:24You, I'll see.
