U17 World Cup : Egypt stumbles against England but can still hope

Egypt stumbled on Monday in its third group match against England.

The Egyptian U17 team almost missed out on qualifying for the Round of 16 of the World Cup. The young Pharaohs lost 3-0 to England in their final group match.

The young English U17s almost prevented the young Pharaohs from realizing their dream of qualification. A draw would have been enough, but the young Pharaohs were out of sorts and never managed to find their rhythm.

The English quickly took the lead thanks to a goal conceded in the 14th minute. The second goal, conceded in the 55th minute, definitively put the African representatives in difficulty. A third English goal stunned Egypt in the 90th minute. Egypt finished third in their group.
