The Egyptian national team put on a dazzling first-half performance against Malawi and headed into the locker room with a commanding 3-0 lead at Cairo International Stadium.
The Pharaohs quickly took control of the match, opening the scoring in the 6th minute on a goal by N. Maher, who was set up by M. Hany.
Building on their lead, the Egyptians quickly doubled their advantage thanks to O. Marmoush, who scored off a pass from Zizo in the 10th minute, before M. Hany added to the tally in the 39th minute.
Dominating the game with an overwhelming 71% possession rate, Egypt dictated the pace of the match, despite a yellow card shown to H. Abdelmaguid in the 24th minute.
The Malawi Flames will have to put on a very different performance in the second half if they hope to turn the tide.
