Egypt faced challenges, losing Salah to injury and El Shenawy to a dislocated shoulder. Despite sacrificing a cow for luck, Congo took the lead with Elia’s goal, countered by Mohamed’s penalty. Extra time ensued as both teams struggled for a win.

Egypt ended with 10 players after Hamdy’s red card. In the shootout, Masuaku missed for Congo, but Abou Gabal’s crucial miss sealed their fate. Congo advances to face Guinea in the next round.
