Egypt’s Afcon quarter-final victory over longtime rivals Morocco was virtually all the talking heads wanted to discuss last night. Praise was doled out for the Pharaohs’ resilience in another unusually long game — in spite of an early penalty for the Moroccan team, and multiple injuries and substitutes throughout — on Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 6:18; 11:15), Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 55:20), and Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 57:04). Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 3:47), Al Qahera Wel Nas (watch, runtime: 2:44), and El Hekaya (watch, runtime: 2:11) also took note of the victory.
