00:0024 games we will have, 24 teams we will have quite a bit, excuse me, for the tournament next year.
00:21Morena, Ramor Eboli, taking over interim charge, usually the head coach of
00:28Guaneng Galaxies, we get underway here in Cairo then, Egypt in their usual strip of red with
00:38well they've got men over on the left here, the Ferraris, but they haven't been spotted,
00:41still trying to work their way down the right, some lovely little pit pass through and the ball
00:45goes straight across the six yard box, everyone leaving, corner taken short, gonna get whipped
00:52in from that right hand side now and that's a very dangerous ball going across there, eventually
00:58smash clear by Maher, Teher, defense back in position quickly for Botswana, but still
01:09Ferraris with the ball, another ball across the six yard box and a sliced shot there from Teher,
01:15didn't have long to react to get his feet right for that one, scored an absolute beauty against
01:20Cape Verde four days ago, the opener in the 31st minute, smashing it into the top corner from an
01:26acute angle, exit from the last Africa Cup of Nations, really brings, oh dear, the ball lost
01:36in their own area here, Botswana get the ball across, goal smashed in towards and it's in the
01:40back of the net, is the flag going to go up, no it hasn't and Botswana have taken the lead here,
01:44dramatic stuff in Cairo and it's Kibatho, his first start
01:56of this qualification process, less than 10 minutes in and he scored the opener,
02:01remarkable stuff here in Cairo, silence from the home fans obviously,
02:10ball driven in, headed back in here, mistake
02:17from Abdelaziz, eventually the ball deflects over here
02:21and after, well, a couple of touches from different players, sort of scragged across the goal
02:28by Sakanyang
02:34the man who made the opportunity in the first place, then popped up to, I don't know, was that
02:39knee onto head into the top corner, scruffy finish, well that man knows all about scruffy finishes,
02:45one of nature's real strength, he's won the ball a little bit higher up the pitch as well and all
02:49of a sudden, a little bit of space to work in here, Trezeguet pulls the trigger and there's
02:54the equalizer, what a strike from Trezeguet, his group leading fourth strike of these qualification
03:03matches in his fifth appearance, well Marwan Atiyah started things off there, he won the ball a little
03:11bit higher up the pitch, Botswana trying to play on the counter-attack, Trezeguet didn't look like
03:16there was anything on there, when he cut inside, beat the keeper at his near post, I think
03:24Godzione, Fokker, Guaneng Galaxy keeper, I don't think he's going to be happy with this one
03:31come on, 25 meters out there, been beaten at his near post, may be miss sighted
03:38by a couple of defenders in front of him actually, looking at the angle
03:41clinical strike though from Trezeguet, there was Atiyah winning the ball
03:51and there's the shot, goes between the legs of the defender and the keeper just can't get across
03:55inside, wonderful strike, precision stuff from the Ananayan attacking midfielder
04:03and Egypt swiftly back on level terms here in Cairo
04:11oh and a sharp save there as well and the follow-up is well blocked out for a corner
04:24good stuff from Mohamed
04:30played in here and that first time shot
04:34certainly keeping the keeper on his toes, Fokker this time
04:38equal to the challenge, low to his left
04:49again, space down that left-hand side, Hamdi teases a ball in, they're not really dealt
04:53with by the goalkeeper, here's Mohamed to hand, the shot is blocked, the keeper still out there
04:58fails to get up for the ball, throws himself to the floor hoping for a free kick, nothing given by the referee
05:08run here from Meher, dug a great cross out, beautifully chested down and the shot well
05:16blocked on the edge of the six yard box, now headed away, desperate stuff this from the Zebras
05:21still coming forwards, Manouche, an attempted cross deflects out, the keeper collapses on it gratefully
05:27oh and a ball given away there and a flying stop from Shabir out of nothing
05:40and Botswana nearly taking the lead for the second time here in Cairo
05:47what a snapshot that was from Gilbert Biruti
05:53scored the equalizer at home to Mauritania four days ago
05:57simple long ball forward flicked on
06:01not quite dealt with at the back and that was going in as well, dipping viciously
06:06great technique there from Kibath, the offside not easy, the ball comes into the area laid off
06:13and the shot comes in, deflects and a kind deflection in the end from Foucault, it was with the shot
06:19one added on at the end of this first half
06:29there is
06:33that is the whistle entertaining for seven football with Botswana going
06:38ahead first, Egypt getting the tie later in the half, Botswana side
06:46to start the second half of football
06:49Egypt 1 Botswana 1 at half time, three changes made by the Botswana coach during the Kamal
07:03Kamal looking for Mahmouche now on the right hand side, eventually brings the ball down does
07:09Mahmouche, oh nice cut inside and now brings a teammate in there as well, the shot side-footed
07:14straight at the goalkeeper
07:19nice move that from Egypt, the eventual shot coming in from Meher
07:29Mahmouche did well to look after the ball there, cut inside and laid it off
07:36decides against it, lovely ball in, put ball across goal, half cleared and then desperately
07:43on the line there by Foucault
07:47and Ibrahim Adel perhaps should have made that 2-1 Egypt, best chance they've had this half
07:51the fairer was holding him back there, he has been going down quite easily as well so the
07:56referee obviously in two minds and the ball goes kindly here and it's flashed wide of the upright
08:03and it's the substitute Osama Fisser
08:05that's the closest Egypt have come for a while now
08:18the defender, Gelalwe free kick anyway, Mohamed Hamdi keeps the ball in play for Egypt, swings
08:26it straight back into the area, goes to the back, both have been missed by everyone and it's Fatih
08:33the substitute can't fusion, a little bit of panic at the back for Botswana, Meher, Meher
08:39makes room for the shot, flings one in and that's gone just over the crossbar and that could well be that
08:46the Botswana players and coaches are up off their seats in the technical area, they were
08:52expecting the full-time whistle to go after this shot, whiffled over the crossbar
09:02it's still a whistle and there it is, it's finished 1-1 here in Cairo and that is enough
09:10for Botswana to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations for just the second time
09:18just for the second time Botswana will be in the Africa Cup of Nations, the first time they've
09:25qualified since 2012, getting a great result in Egypt and it makes other results in the group
09:34completely moot, Botswana will be in the field of 24 for Morocco
