25' GOAL! Egypt 1-0 Congo DR (El Mohamady)
Mohamed Salah takes a short corner, plays a one-two and then crosses the ball into the box.
It causes a bit of pinball, before landing to Ahmed Elmohamady, who takes a touch with his left foot and pokes it home with the outside of his right foot.
Ahmed Elmohamady puts the ball in the net and the home team now lead 1-0.
43' GOAL! Egypt 2-0 Congo DR (Salah)
Brilliant play by Trezeguet to set up Egypt's second for Mohamed Salah.
Trezeguet runs from his own half - nutmegging Jacques Maghoma on the way - and plays a perfect ball to Salah. The Egypt star cuts onto his left foot and then rifles a shot past the keeper at his near post when he was expecting a curler towards the other side.
Great play from Trezeguet to set up the goal.
