Egypt
faced Uruguay in an international friendly match. The
game ended in a 0-2 defeat despite the numerous chances
that the Pharoahs had. On the other side, Uruguay were
much more effective in scoring and added their 2nd through
El Saka who scored in his own net.

2nd loss for the Pharaohs since their ACN win
The Egyptian national team missed many
players in their encounter with Uruguay which is the
2nd friendly after the ACN2006. Because of this, the
Pharaohs couldn't take advantage of their dominance
in the first half and the game ended in a loss.
Egypt had to play the game wihtout all
Ahly players, also Ghaly and Mido weren't called in
order to let them resume preseason preparations with
their teams. In addition to this, some players were
unavailable due to injuries including Mohamed Zidan.
In addition to this, some players were
called back to the national team like Abo Mosallam,
Amir Azmy and Hani Said while others were introduced
for the first time like Sherif Ekkramy and others.
Despite the many changes in the Egyptian
squad, Egypt totally dominated the first 45 minutes
and created some real goal scoring oppertunities. Amr
Zaki had two close headers at goal but they went jude
wide and the goalkeeper of Uruguay blocked a close range
attempt from Ahmed Hassan which could result in a real
goal.

In the 2nd half, Egyptian players were content to waste more
chances and they relied most on log range shots which weren't
accurate enough in most attempts.
The guests took advantage of the Pharaohs' lack
of experience and harmony and scored a hgoal from a powerful
header by Godin in the 67th minute while the second goal was
scored in a comic way by El Saka who buried the ball home
in the 77th minute after a low cross from the right wing.
Uruguay totally dominated the game in the final
few minutes as the Egyptian team started to fall apart and
they almost scored a 3rd goal after a corner from the right
wing but the post denied the goal.
