SportsTranscript
00:00 Had a knee ligament injury in February against Real Madrid last year.
00:04 Reynaldo had started 50 or 54 games for Atletico Madrid.
00:08 And he's going to have a torrid time.
00:12 And one expects up against Salah today, who's into Trezeguet.
00:16 Trezeguet will get it back on the left hand flank for Egypt.
00:20 Swung in Salah, early chance for him.
00:24 Doesn't take it.
00:25 Swatch and turn.
00:26 Oh, there's only a minute 30 on the clock in Egypt lead already.
00:30 And that was blistering really quick from Mustafa Mohamed.
00:33 So much pressure on his shoulders.
00:38 Oh, Salah was in an awful lot of space, but look at this turn.
00:44 One touch to drag it onto his right foot.
00:47 Really smart play from Mustafa Mohamed
00:51 and leaving Anani Silouan in the Mozambique goal with no chance.
00:56 Look at that little roll over drag.
00:59 And a really cool, sumptuous low finish.
01:03 To give Egypt the lead.
01:07 They tried to set him up, but now Egypt can break Salah
01:10 immediately looking for Mustafa Mohamed.
01:12 And Mustafa Mohamed is still no goal.
01:15 He's taken it away, but he's forced a good save from Silouane.
01:18 Still, the danger is not cleared.
01:20 Zizo. Mozambique, one of whom is Ed Milson over him.
01:24 Headed away by Higazi, strike a goal.
01:27 And slashed horribly wide in the end.
01:30 From Gildo.
01:33 That's better.
01:36 Bit of space now for Ranildo, two in the middle.
01:39 What's the cross like? Decent enough.
01:41 The header, though, isn't.
01:42 Nice turn. On the turn.
01:44 Oh, and he can't find the target.
01:47 Witty it was.
01:48 Well, the first attempt covered really well.
01:51 A lot of space for Ranildo.
01:53 That header was, well, he won't wish to see that again,
01:55 but this was much better.
01:57 And he had done the hard part, surely with the turn.
02:00 It should have hit the target from there.
02:05 Familiar figure.
02:07 Usher's forward, his longtime friend Salah.
02:10 One in the middle, and that's Mohamed.
02:13 Strike a goal. Strike over.
02:16 From Zizo.
02:18 So much endeavour for a 40 year old.
02:24 Constantly ushering and urging
02:27 his teammates to get forward.
02:30 Here he is. Lovely little turn from him now.
02:32 What's the cross like?
02:34 Well, he's unhappy that he feels he was clipped, I think.
02:38 Palembe's arms outstretched looking at the referee.
02:40 Mozambique is Cape Verde on Friday.
02:43 A game that's described as a cup final for them.
02:46 Mohamed in behind the line, onside.
02:50 He's got Salah if he wants to play him.
02:51 He does play him.
02:52 Salah looking back for Mohamed.
02:55 And still it's not clear and it's against the post.
02:57 And that was unlucky from Trezeguet.
03:01 And he had to move his body pretty quickly.
03:07 Mohamed Trezeguet.
03:09 He's got four goals in his last three.
03:11 The 29 year old.
03:14 Fatty, bit of space here.
03:17 They're getting numbers forward, Egypt.
03:19 Space at the back post for Zizo if they can find it,
03:21 but it's not hit well enough.
03:23 Trezeguet now.
03:24 Into Salah.
03:26 Trezeguet.
03:27 Trezeguet again.
03:28 Can't get past Edmilsson.
03:30 Zizo.
03:31 Into Salah.
03:33 Little dinked.
03:34 The idea to find Mohamed.
03:38 Didn't have the pace.
03:39 And at present, I would say that Raynaldo is edging it in his jewels
03:42 with Salah.
03:44 Certainly one of the
03:46 more interesting aspects to keep your eye on in this game.
03:48 Gildo, lovely bit of skill to the byline.
03:52 He goes deep cross.
03:53 Oh, chance for Mozambique.
03:55 Superb from El Shenawi.
03:57 Well, I look for all the world that that was going.
04:00 Memories of his last Nations Cup.
04:01 But let's see the save again.
04:03 A lot of ground to cover.
04:05 Look at that.
04:07 I think it was going to be an own goal in the end from Hamdi.
04:09 He had to come an awfully long way.
04:12 El Shenawi.
04:13 That is right out of the top draw, that save.
04:15 Well, they've lost it in midfield.
04:19 Mozambique and his arms outstretched
04:21 when there's defending to be done.
04:22 Trezeguet into the middle into Mohamed.
04:26 Oh, really nice idea.
04:28 The execution wasn't quite right.
04:31 Salah slings it in.
04:32 There is Hegazi and it's just off target.
04:35 And he puts his hand
04:38 in his head, Ahmed Hegazi, a former West
04:42 Burma, Jabi, a man
04:44 now based in Saudi Arabia.
04:49 And that'll be four minutes of additional time.
04:52 And it looks as if Zizo
04:58 will be taking it out, swinging from him
05:00 up to Hegazi again.
05:04 Not fully clear, driven hard and low.
05:07 And at the second attempt,
05:09 Silouan gathers it.
05:10 And Bruno Lange
05:12 is on.
05:15 And it looks like they may have switched to three at the back.
05:19 It's all about the accuracy now for the man who's just come on low and hard
05:23 and just a whisker or so wide of El Shanaoui's left hand post.
05:27 And that was well struck.
05:30 By the Chavez man.
05:36 Beat the wall, just fading away.
05:38 Macanza, that's what he's got.
05:46 Macanza, that's a good ball in.
05:49 And that's a good header as well.
05:51 And Mozambique have drawn level
05:54 and huge celebrations as all the substitutes rush off the bench.
05:58 And I think it was witty.
06:03 I think Macanza has been congratulated for a cross.
06:06 Here he is. It is witty indeed.
06:07 That is a superb header
06:10 from him.
06:11 He really had to guide it.
06:15 And it wasn't easy.
06:16 And El Shanaoui got a hand, but only into the side netting.
06:21 Little touches like that that will drive a coach mad.
06:27 Mohamed losing out.
06:29 Gima through the middle.
06:31 They're in again.
06:32 They could turn it around here, Mozambique, and they have.
06:35 What a moment for them.
06:39 They've only gone and taken the lead.
06:40 They were leading or trailing just seconds ago.
06:43 Look at this.
06:46 Good play up front from Retifo.
06:48 The pass wasn't cut out.
06:49 He got the vital touch and then he kept his composure.
06:53 Clésio.
06:55 That was the crucial touch to get him away from Higazi.
06:59 Look at the eyes,
07:02 sized it up and then just did him.
07:05 A little bit of momentum taken out of the Egyptian pressure.
07:11 Abdelmanem, the centre back, just midway.
07:14 Look, here he is still.
07:15 Once again, only the Egyptian goalkeeper in their half.
07:19 Here's Abdelmanem from distance.
07:21 Low and hard.
07:23 You do not expect to see centre backs
07:25 of their own sort of history if they can hold on.
07:29 Fatih.
07:32 Kamal into Fatih, cries for handball.
07:38 And the referee agrees.
07:42 And here he is as Egypt
07:47 step up incredibly high.
07:50 Abdelmanem.
07:52 Zizo, room to shoot.
07:54 Thought about it. Does it?
07:56 It whistles past the post
07:57 because they've been so tight and so good at denying Egypt space.
08:02 But look at this.
08:02 They just stood off and stood off and stood off.
08:04 And once again, Zizo couldn't find the target.
08:11 He's a centre back.
08:12 I've got to keep reminding you of that because he's playing like a midfielder.
08:16 Attacking one, too.
08:17 Hamdi.
08:18 Inflicting.
08:20 Oh, against the post, surely.
08:22 And behind it, that'll be a corner.
08:24 And that was drifting dangerously in.
08:26 Zizo.
08:31 A lot of space here for a shot.
08:34 And that's not going to trouble Silouan either.
08:36 Mkhiti's on a yellow.
08:39 Ill-advised to make challenges like that.
08:42 Play on, says the referee.
08:43 Zizo swings it in.
08:45 That's a better ball in.
08:46 And Edmilson again.
08:49 That space and to Salah.
08:51 Well, how did he miss?
08:53 Void one of the most ignominious defeats in their history.
08:55 Better ball in that from Mahmoud.
08:59 Salah now. Hard and low.
09:02 Blocked again.
09:05 By Ranildo.
09:08 And knocking on the door here, Egypt.
09:11 They want a penalty.
09:12 And they're calling.
09:13 There is the sign.
09:16 For VAR.
09:18 And Chiquinho Conde puts his hands up in the air as he demonstrates.
09:25 They took their time.
09:26 But the Mauritanian referee, Dahan Bader, is indeed going to have a look at the monitor.
09:32 Well, Macanza certainly.
09:41 Egypt will be holding its breath at both ends of the continent.
09:44 And it is a penalty to Egypt.
09:48 And they have got a chance to get out of jail here.
09:52 But is this a moment for him to make history?
09:58 It isn't because Salah has brought Egypt level 2-2 deep into stoppage time.
10:05 And the Pharaohs, a record African champions, have got out of jail.
10:09 And Mozambique.
10:12 Well, they will now just want to hold on.
10:15 But their dream of the most famous victory in their history.
10:18 Stoppage time, but it's unclear how many extra minutes are going to be added on in light of that VAR review.
10:27 Paff with the cheeks.
10:29 Found the back of the net.
10:31 Macanza, who conceded the penalty, takes no chances with that one.
10:35 El-Shanawi.
10:37 Well, there it is.
10:39 The final whistle blows.
10:40 In an absorbing Group B encounter, Egypt escaped right to the death
10:47 with that Mohamed Salah penalty after Mozambique were on course
10:52 to win their first ever match at the Nations Cup.
