Egypt were expected to find the going tough against a talented Nigerian side in their Group C opener. Fans of the Pharaohs feared the worst when Chinedu Obasi put Nigeria ahead in the 12th minute, but Hassan Shehata’s men managed to produce a memorable comeback. Goals from Emad Moteab, skipper Ahmed Hassan and Mohammed Gedo gave the reigning African champions a 3-1 victory. Hassan lead from the front, a far cry from the insipid performance put in by Nigerian skipper Joseph Yobo.
Six players in the camp-Ahmed Hassan, Wael Gomaa, Emad Moteab, Hosni Abd-Rabo, Hossam Ghaly,and Abdel-Aziz Tawfik have contracted flu. They missed training, but are likely to feature against Mozambique.
Egypt 3-1 Nigeria ( Emad Moteab, Ahmed Hassan, Mohammed Gedo)
Egypt 1-0 Mali ( Mohamed Nagui)
Egypt 1-1 Malawi ( Hosni Abd Rabo)
Algeria 1-0 Egypt
Egypt 2-0 Algeria ( Amr Zaki, Emad Moteab)
Mozambique drew 2-2 against Benin in their first group. They had Benin keeper Djidonou to thank for both their goals. Miro and Fumo were scorers for the Mambas as they recovered to take a point after being 2-0 down after twenty points. The side are yet to win a game in AFCON.

Mozambique 2-2 Benin ( Miro, Fumo)
Gabon 2-0 Mozambique
Mozambique 1-0 Tunisia ( Dario)
Nigeria 1-0 Mozambique
Mozambique 1-0 Kenya ( Manuel Bucuane)
Egypt’s confidence would have been given a huge boost by their 3-1 win over Nigeria. Most people will expect them to stroll past the Mambas, and given the way Mozambique played in their group opener against Benin, one would not be surprised if the game ended in Egypt’s favour.
Verdict:- Egypt 3-0 Mozambique ( Moteab, Rabo, Shikabala)
