Egypt’s first goal in the African Cup of Nations: Abdallah El Said secured a last minute victory for Egypt in last night’s game against Uganda, taking the team through to the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations and pushing their opponents out of the running. Ahram Online’s Hatem Maher describes the game “as largely toothless,” as it had appeared as though it was headed into another draw until the very final moments. Egypt is now only two behind Ghana, with four points from two games. Ghana beat Mali out earlier in the day with “a narrow 1-0 victory.” (Tap here to watch the goal, runtime 1:52).
