The Egyptian national team faced South Africa in an international friendly. The match ended in a 1-0 victory for the Pharaohs who played a fine first half.

Shehata started with Moteb and Amr Zaki at front as Mido still needed some rest while Zidan wasn't available because of surgery. Behind the two strikers Abo Treka played the role of the playmaker.

Egypt started with pressure from the kick off and Abo Treka sent a clever chip pass to the onside Moteb who sent the ball into the far corner to make the score 1-0 for the Pharaohs.

The Egyptians continued to impress in this half and created some chances on goal. However, the score remained 1-0 till the half time whistle. The best chances for Egypt were for Moteb who received a pass from Ghaly and was left with a simple finish but he put the ball over the bar. On the other hand, Amr Zaki was one of the most active players in this half and almost scored for Egypt from a shot from inside the box but the goalkeeper denied his effort. In addition to this, Zaki had a powerful hot on goal from way out but it was denied by the goalkeeper as well.
