The winner of this match will face the victor of the Ivory Coast vs. Burkina Faso match, which will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, January 6, at the Grand Marrakech Stadium, starting at 8 PM.
The Egyptian team attempted to reach the goal of Marcel Dandjinou by all possible means, through the few opportunities available to them, but they could not achieve their goal due to a lack of focus from their players when reaching the penalty area, whether during shooting or passing. Meanwhile, Benin was unable to surprise the Pharaohs with a goal against the run of play, as their counter-attacks lacked precision, resulting in the first half ending as it began, with a score of 0-0.
