Egypt vs Benin: what you need to know about the match
Egypt cruised through their group as expected, racking up seven points from three matches. Their only slip came against Angola—a game that had no impact on the standings, so Hassan gave his key players, including Marmoush and Salah, a well-deserved rest.
Benin finished third in their group. A narrow win over Botswana—scoring their only goal of the tournament—was just enough to secure a playoff spot. However, matches against Senegal and DR Congo revealed that Benin struggle against higher-caliber opponents.
