A disturbing victory for the Egyptian team against Senegal .. “The return is difficult”

The Egyptian national football team achieved an unreassuring victory at the expense of its Senegalese guest, with a goal without a response, in the match that took place between them at Cairo Stadium, in the first leg of the decisive role to qualify for the World Cup Qatar 2022. The only goal of the meeting came with friendly fire from Senegalese defender Salio Cisse, in the fourth minute.

The return match will be held next Tuesday in the Senegalese capital, Dakar.

And it became necessary for the Senegal team to win more than one goal to implement the rule of scoring goals away from the ground with two goals.

The result did not reflect the situation of the match, which the Senegalese team played as it wanted, and it had the advantage all the time, but it suffered from the final touch in front of goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawy.

The Egyptian team paid the price for the lack of offensive boldness of its Portuguese coach, Carlos Queiroz, who did not give up his defensive style by playing with three “focus” players, which greatly reduced the appearance of the Pharaohs players in front of goalkeeper Mendy, with the exception of some individual attempts by Mohamed Salah that did not rise to the required danger. .

The owners of the land made the best possible start, when Amr Al-Sulayya led an organized attack from the middle of the field, and distributed a long ball at the head of Mostafa Mohamed, who passed it to Mohamed Salah, who then hit the crossbar and hit defender Salio Cisse, and inhabited the goal.

After the goal, the Pharaohs retreated to describe their stadium to absorb the reaction shown by the Senegalese team to modify the result, and its players succeeded in preventing all the attempts made by the guests to penetrate, and reach the goal of Mohamed El-Shennawy.

Queiroz's playing strategy changed, depending on the counter-attacks, which threatened Mendy's goal, through a cross played by Omar Jaber, and Mustafa Mohamed received it with his head, to be caught by goalkeeper "24".

The Senegalese team rose up with the 30th minute, and its danger appeared from the right side, from which it obtained three fixed kicks. It threatened Mohamed El-Shenawy, who on one occasion went out of his own goal, to hit the ball at the head of Ismaila Sarr, but fortunately for the Egyptians, the ball lost its way to the net.

Mane appeared after a long wait through an attempt from the depth until he reached the limits of the box and hit a ball from an unusual position over the crossbar "41".

The Teranga Lions continued their attacking pressure at the beginning of the second half, and they missed the opportunity to equalize with a header by Shekho Kouyate, which touched the net from outside.

The most dangerous attack by the Egyptians in this half, the ball played by Mostafa Mohamed from a backhand double, hit Trezeguet, and the ball was on its way to the goal "69".

A minute before the end, substitute Omar Marmoush threatened Senegal's goal with a shot from inside the box, which passed along the post
