FIFA OG-Egypt U23 VS Morocco U23

 

 

After a thrilling penalty shootout victory over 2004 silver medalists Paraguay, Egypt pushed hosts France to the limit in the semi-finals.

 

Despite a late Jean-Philippe Mateta goal forcing extra time in Lyon, Egypt ultimately fell 3-1. However, they now shift their focus to securing a historic first Olympic medal under the guidance of Brazilian coach Rogerio Micale, who led his country to gold in 2016.

 

"We delivered an outstanding performance, containing France for 80 minutes, which I believe was exceptional," Micale said, reflecting on Monday's narrow defeat. With their sights set on the medal match, Egypt remains determined to make their mark on the Olympic stage.

 

Egypt with win.
