Egyptian football players, after a tough battle, defeated Moroccan football players with a score of 2:1 in extra time. The beginning of the match looked great for Morocco. In the 4th minute, Achrafas Hakimi was brought down in the opponents' penalty area and after a VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty kick to Egypt. Sofiene Boufal confidently scored into the top right corner of the goal and put his team ahead. However, the Egyptian team players showed character and managed to come back into the game. Mohamed Salah found himself in the right place at the right time and sent a beautiful shot into the goal. At the end of the match, Morocco had a great opportunity to score, but the Egyptian goalkeeper Gabaski demonstrated fantastic reflexes and kept the score level. However, at that moment the goalkeeper suffered an injury, but refused to be substituted. Eventually, after playing just five minutes of extra time, he had to leave the field. During extra time, Mohamed Salah showed why he is considered one of the best football players in the world. The forward dribbled past several opponents and passed the ball to Trezeguet, who put the ball into the empty net. After this victory, Egypt advances to the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, where they will face the winners of the Saturday match between the football players of Cameroon and Burkina Faso.
