"Having been behind at half-time to underdogs Zimbabwe on Monday, Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush equalised with 26 minutes of regular time remaining before Liverpool counterpart Mohamed Salah struck the 91st-minute in their 2-1 win. Manager Hossam Hassan said the Pharaohs were "unlucky" but "wasted many chances" on their way to victory. "We made it harder than it should have been,"
"South Africa also started with three hard-earned points, taking the lead against Angola through Oswin Appollis' strike but swiftly being pegged back until Burnley forward Lyle Foster curled in the 79th-minute winner. Bafana Bafana were transformed during the second half, with half-time substitute Tshepang Moremi narrowly having a goal ruled out for offside before Foster went one better. "We got some things right during half-time," said boss Hugo Broos."
Egypt, seven-time AFCON champions, seek a calmer second match against South Africa in Agadir after a nervy opener. Egypt trailed Zimbabwe at half-time before Omar Marmoush equalised and Mohamed Salah scored a 91st-minute winner to seal a 2-1 victory. Manager Hossam Hassan called the team "unlucky" and said many chances were wasted; he substituted Emam Ashour, citing incomplete fitness after Hepatitis A, and introduced Mostafa Mohamed. South Africa beat Angola after Oswin Appollis opened the scoring and Lyle Foster curled a 79th-minute winner following halftime tactical changes and the introduction of Tshepang Moremi.
