00:01Let me talk about points, of course, after Aguilas' draw against precisely Aguilas.
00:05The Pharaohs, they responded with an empathic 5-0 victory over South Sudan,
00:10with Omar Marmouch scoring the race.
00:12And well, tonight, they will...
00:18Starts off, but Ali Maher...
00:23is tasked with...
00:26bringing Egypt to new heights.
00:28That was the Chinese, but he...
00:30gave everything he could.
00:32Finishing top score.
00:34Oh, wow, what an audacious attempt that is, and...
00:37Mostafa Shobir, quite a burst in him.
00:40Here's Mo Salah, his touch is greeted with a roar.
00:46And for those of you who don't know, Mohamed Salah is very much a left-footed player.
00:55Salah, one-touch pass, and the curl is difficult to anticipate, difficult to read from Malawi's defenders.
01:03Here they come, here's Salah.
01:05Oh, he's gonna serve his teammate Trezeguet.
01:08And his shot flashes wide of the post, but...
01:11Oh, so near...
01:14to pierce the armor of Malawi's defense.
01:17That's the first real encourage and the first glimpse of Ali Maher.
01:22Well, that's to be his brand of football.
01:25Fasten your seat belts.
01:27It's going to be...
01:31such a fast ride.
01:36Malawi were...
01:38Here's Nasser Maher.
01:40Plays off of Trezeguet.
01:41Spreads it out to Salah.
01:42He's gonna get onto his left foot, isn't he?
01:44He's gonna use overlap of Lahani.
01:45Cuts it back!
01:46The opener for Egypt comes at the fifth minute.
01:50And it's Nasser Maher.
01:53Ali Maher opens his...
01:59his tenure with Egypt with a near-perfect start.
02:09The Cairo International Stadium erupts with joy.
02:13And they're seeing...
02:16beautiful displays of football.
02:21Mohamed Salah...
02:22perhaps thought...
02:23everyone thought he was perhaps gonna go for a goal,
02:25but instead plays the generous overlapping pass of Mohamed Hani,
02:28who timed his run to perfection.
02:31Cut it back with a low cross.
02:32There was plenty of legs in the midst.
02:35And Nasser Maher...
02:39scores the first goal and is embraced by his head coach.
02:48What a moment for Nasser Maher...
02:51who unlocked...
02:53He must be so pleased after spending so much time on the sidelines
02:56following a...
03:00ACL tear.
03:01Oh, here's...
03:02the second...
03:02perhaps it is!
03:04It's a gift!
03:05And it's unwrapped beautifully by Omar Marmoush!
03:09He gets his third in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
03:17And he's served by Malawi, who...
03:20quite frankly...
03:23get themselves into trouble all on their own.
03:27Egypt up 2-0 in the early stages of this match...
03:30at the Cairo International Stadium.
03:36And big smiles from Marmoush.
03:38Of course he would be.
03:42He's had a difficult season so far on loan at Tottenham,
03:45and look at that, always ready to pounce.
03:49A true lion at heart.
03:51It was given away poorly by Charles Petro.
03:55And once Marmoush...
03:57had the goal in his visors...
04:00he was never going to miss.
04:05High foot...
04:06stays very much concentrated.
04:08He's looking for Salah.
04:09Can he keep the ball in play?
04:11He does!
04:12He's brought down.
04:15But in the end, the referee, Abdelaziz Bou...
04:18points to...
04:19the six-yard box, indicating...
04:22a goal kick.
04:30Scoring the first winning goal in a World Cup...
04:33for Egypt.
04:35And now...
04:36he's going to be on the hunt...
04:39for that elusive 69th goal.
04:44That would put him level.
04:50Ahmed Fatou...
04:53got his foot to the ball, and...
04:55that was spotted by the linesman.
05:00Good competitiveness from the Zamalek fullback.
05:04It was Wise Dino...
05:06of Malawi, who...
05:08then commits the foul.
05:11Who rolls it to the left.
05:14There's movement around...
05:16Fatou...
05:17gets on his preferred right foot.
05:20It's a curled one to Salah...
05:21punched away by George Shikuga.
05:25Will Egypt punish Malawi for their...
05:28ambitions on the counter-attack?
05:31Salah...
05:33Marmouche...
05:34Trezeguet the target.
05:36He was well-ushered.
05:38And that's mishit the clearance.
05:41Where to find Salah...
05:42where Salah knew...
05:43where to find Maher...
05:46Oh, that's it, the header...
05:48from Marmouche.
05:49Caught two goals scored in the...
05:51opening ten minutes.
05:52Oh, far too passive from Egypt.
05:55And now...
05:56Choubert...
05:57having to pull out a trick to make a save.
06:00His gloves must have felt that one.
06:03Plenty of purchase behind Richard Mbulu's shot.
06:09What was he thinking?
06:11Ahmed Zizo didn't attack his ball.
06:13But the pass was risky.
06:15And then the shot was...
06:18venomous.
06:22But two...
06:23Choubert...
06:25Choubert...
06:26Off the corner kick.
06:27They connect with the header.
06:29But safely caught by Choubert.
06:32Choubert knows that best.
06:33His father...
06:33Ahmed Choubert was a goalkeeper for Egypt...
06:36for 12 years...
06:37as well as a...
06:39a la lead legend.
06:43A breakaway is stopped.
06:45Charles Petro...
06:47is fouled by...
06:50He catches him very late.
06:53And his boot is high.
06:57Oof.
06:59Looks very painful.
07:01Could have been much worse.
07:03Charles Petro...
07:05avoiding serious injury and...
07:08ingrained in them.
07:19O'Malley's giving it away cheaply.
07:22Maher snatched at it with a first-time left-footed shot, but...
07:28Sales...
07:29Egypt...
07:29on the front foot now.
07:31Trying to make something happen.
07:34Zizo thought he had split the...
07:37That's not well done by...
07:40the midfielder of Malawi and...
07:43for that...
07:44Egypt...
07:44might be able to strike...
07:47Trezeguet.
07:50Not on the right wavelength.
07:52Not in the right tempo.
07:54It's a shame there...
07:56does seem to be a...
07:57clear disjoint between...
08:00the midfield and the attack of Egypt.
08:02It means that...
08:03the forwards are having to take on so many of Malawi's players...
08:06on their own.
08:11Oh, that's a great header...
08:13and that forces a fine save...
08:14by Mustafa Shoubeyir.
08:18Modao's heading straight towards the top corner.
08:21And Egypt...
08:22are looking a little bit lethargic...
08:25while Malawi...
08:31Salah...
08:31drops his shoulder...
08:33escapes the press...
08:33uses the outside of his foot.
08:36Almost a delicious pass.
08:41Ali Maher era.
08:47Luminary pass.
08:49Hani's cross.
08:50Oh, it goes through everyone.
08:52It's not over just yet.
08:54Clipped in.
08:56Hani thinks about the volley...
08:58does take it.
08:58What a goal!
09:01Do not blink!
09:05Muhammad Hani...
09:07has scored something from the top drawer!
09:16The crowd...
09:17on its feet!
09:18They've witnessed...
09:20something truly special!
09:24The technique...
09:26is second to none!
09:28The power...
09:29of a rocket!
09:32And for that...
09:33the goalkeeper of Malawi...
09:36even if there were two of them...
09:38he could not do anything...
09:40as Kaliso Passua looks helplessly...
09:42the quality...
09:43the class...
09:44of Hani!
09:47That's a love letter to football!
09:50Signed...
09:51sealed...
09:51and delivered!
09:53He knew exactly...
09:55what he was doing!
09:56There is no luck in that!
10:00Plenty of purpose!
10:02Plenty of purchase!
10:04And the Faroes...
10:05go clear!
10:09Oh, it's helped...
10:10into his direction...
10:11and it falls kindly!
10:13Nixon Yasulu...
10:14heads it out...
10:15of the court...
10:16of the penalty box and...
10:19Hani with a just...
10:21amazing goal!
10:22The curl!
10:26Malawi...
10:27finding some momentum yet again...
10:29that's a great through ball!
10:30Jobeir...
10:31comes out...
10:32into the feet of...
10:35Adepoju...
10:36who went for goal...
10:38but...
10:40Guaidino...
10:42appears to have wanted the pass...
10:45gallops forward...
10:46defends forward...
10:47and that...
10:48puts an end to the Flames' final...
10:50salvo!
10:51What an opening act!
10:53Egypt...
10:54in the lead...
10:55a commanding lead...
10:56a 3-0 lead...

11:15Malawi...
11:15all in green...
11:17adorned with red...
11:18on balls...
11:19and...
11:19I believe it was 60 matches...
11:20here's...
11:21Mohamed Salah...
11:22the former Liverpool legend...
11:24he loves to wear red...
11:25with Egypt's red...
11:25can he score...
11:26he gets an assist...
11:27no...
11:29nearly...
11:29it was Ahmed Zizou...
11:35Malawi...
11:36looking to respond...
11:39themselves...
11:40he just caught the underside...
11:41of the ball...
11:43Mbulu...
11:46the 32-year-old forward...
11:49who...
11:50had his best time...
11:52in international football...
11:55scoring the goal of this...
11:58millennium...
11:58here's Zizou...
12:00he too now finds a target...
12:02but...
12:02he's sharpening his knife...
12:04Ahmed Zizou...
12:05Georgi Kuga...
12:06in the way of his shot...
12:12gets a little bit lost...
12:13defending...
12:14Mbulu...
12:15likes to turn and shoot...
12:16he has that...
12:17but he's served...
12:20Salah...
12:21to Marmouj...
12:22he can shoot from far...
12:24Trezeguet...
12:25Trezeguet for goal...
12:28it's all a bit scrappy now...
12:30Zizou...
12:30with the pass...
12:31and the feet of Salah...
12:32who goes for goal...
12:32and it's...
12:35not powerful enough...
12:39it's a simple save...
12:44for Chikuka...
12:46Adepoju...
12:47what a client he is...
12:51Wallen...
12:52get things going...
12:54Fatou...
12:56paves the way forward...
12:57for himself...
12:57Trezeguet...
12:59exploits that little gap...
13:00underlapping run...
13:03clearly...
13:05Mohamed Salah...
13:06was the intended target...
13:08but...
13:09the shot...
13:11he's been good...
13:12Lachine...
13:13in recovering the ball...
13:14high...
13:15Fatou...
13:15stays up...
13:16he tries to replicate...
13:18the feet of Hani...
13:19in a much closer...
13:20Trezeguet...
13:21wants to find Salah...
13:23who's...
13:23given a bit of space...
13:25tries to laser a pass...
13:27towards a darting run...
13:29the previous international window...
13:32Salah is released...
13:34Salah one-on-one...
13:35with the defender...

13:37the toe poke...
13:39to try to...
13:40pierce his way through...
13:43but...
13:45that was good defending...
13:46from Nixon...
13:46with the substitutions...
13:48it's...
13:48going to be a different match...
13:50I can guarantee you that...

14:42at the top...
14:44of African football...
14:45this could be the shot...
14:46of Atiyah...

14:49Zizou's...
14:50Salah...
14:50snatched at the rebound...
