In he 2nd preparation game, Egypt managed to defeat Gabon 2-0 thanks to the ever green striker Hossam Hassan.

After a fruitless first half which witnessed a missed penalty kick from Abdel Halim Ali, the Egyptian team managed to score twice in the last ten minutes of their friendly match with Gabon through the ever green striker Hossam Hassan.

Hassan came on in the 2nd half to add the much needed strength and potency in Egypt's attack. His first goal came through a well placed header after an accurate right wing cross from Abo Treka. The 2nd for Hassan came through a penalty kick after a foul on Osama Hosny in the area and Hassan scored it from the spot this time.

It is worth noting that the referee showed two Gabon players the red card in the last minutes.
