Just few days after defeating South Korea in Seoul by a single goal, the Pharaohs achieved a big margin win over Belgium.



Man of the match Emad Moteb

The Pharaohs had the upper hand in terms of scoring and possession throughout the game. However, the Belgians were dangerous during the first 40 minutes of play.

In 9th minute, the guests had a real chance to score through Emile Mpenza who was totally unmarked in the area and tried to head the ball home but he sent it into the arms of Abdel Wahed instead.

In the 23rd min. The match referee disallowed a goal for Belgium's Thomas Buffel. The replay revealed that the player was onside and the goal was wrongly disallowed.

In the 39th minute, Egypt opened the scoring through young forward Emad Moteb who latched the ball into the back of the net after a scrappy header of Ahmed Eid.

Four minute after the kick off of the 2nd half, Emad Moteb rifled a shot from the edge of the box at goal but it was parried away by the goalkeeper.

 

A minute later, Moteb shined again as he scored from a wonderfully executed bicycle kick to give the Pharaohs a 2-0 lead.

The Egyptians continued dominating the game and added the 3rd goal through Eid who scored after playing a one-two pass at the edge of the box with Moteb. He then dribbled past two players inside the box and sent the ball home to make it 3-0 for Egypt.

Few minutes before the final whistle, the sub Osama Hosny scored from inside the box after receiving a gift pass from Abdel Halim Ali to make it 4-0 for the Pharaohs.

The Egyptian team did very well in the game overall but the defending was somewhat dodgy in occasions.
