13 min: Chance for Egypt! It started with Mazin winning the ball off Salah but then giving it away. Egypt zoomed down the left, and Ashraf ‘s powerful shot from 14 yards was parried by the keeper. An Egyptian committed a foul in the scramble for the rebound, giving Sudan a chance to relieve the pressure.

10 min: Sudan can be happy enough with the first 10 minutes. Egypt have dominated but, apart from that early chance for Elneny, haven’t created a really good opening. Sudan are disciplined and energetic, and have hinted at a counter-attacking threat.
