Great cease, although he wants consideration from the medics afterwards.

Munir and Mohamed appeared to return collectively initially, Hakimi was in there as properly. Then it seems the referee appeared to push Munir away and really hit him within the face in doing so, which induced the participant to go down. Extraordinary.

Three of the last-16 ties went to further time; neither of yesterday’s quarters did so. That’s the place this recreation is headed within the subsequent 20 minutes or so if neither group handle to discover a means by means of.

Morocco’s flip to look a bit exasperated and pissed off with how the sport goes.

They’re attempting to get again on the entrance foot however Egypt have a bounce of their step once more after the equaliser. That was Salah’s second aim on the AFCON and his forty seventh general for the nationwide group.

Higher from Egypt already because the break.

We’re again underway! A change on the break sees Trezeguet on for Hegazy – a really attack-minded change for Egypt. Not the centre-back’s most interesting day after he gave the early penalty away.

There’s the referee’s whistle and the Atlas Lions maintain the benefit. Marmoush broke into the world simply on the finish of the half there bubt Masina was once more in place with a thunderous sort out to clear any hazard.

Boufal’s aim the distinction thus far and Morocco are 45 minutes away from a semi-final showdown with hosts Cameroon.

Two minutes added on on the finish of this primary half. Not precisely a blitzing first 45’ however Morocco have the all-important opener and the onus stays on Egypt to supply one thing of word within the second interval.

Naturally, the largest challenge they’ve as soon as once more is a scarcity of service in first rate areas to Salah and Mohamed. Morocco defending properly thus far.
