First place was the only bet in this match in Group G between Egypt and the Comoros, two teams already qualified. The pharaohs did not hesitate to show who was the boss of this pool during the sixth and final day of the 2021 qualifier.
Four goals in ten minutes! The Comoros team caught the Egyptian wave in the face at a meeting that it still approached with full confidence, crowned with its first qualifier for CAN. But the Pharaohs were ruthless in the face of a team that had stood against them in the first stage (0-0). This time, the men from Hossam El-Badry, who have adapted a typical team including Mohamed Salah, Mohamed Elneny and Trezeguet, did not give details. Mohamed Elnany thus materialized Egyptian dominance in the first quarter with a perfect strike in the upper corner by Ali Ahamada (15th). The start of the Pharaonic festival with a second goal from Mohamed Sherif (17) and a quick double from Mohamed Salah (21 and 25). Three Mohamed for four goals in four shots …
Kenya saves glory
Conversely, the only Mohamed (M’Changama) will be the author of the first shot on goal for Coelacanthes (40th). Despite the opposite superiority, Amir Abdou’s men never closed the game and projected themselves towards the Egyptian goal as soon as an opportunity arose. But they will never succeed, at least, save the honor in front of the most successful formation in the African Cup (7 trophies).
It is therefore a difficult return to Earth for the Comoros, who had only conceded two goals in five days before this meeting.
In the second match of the group, even without an effort between two eliminated teams, it was Kenya who saved the honor by winning on Togo’s lawn that finished these qualifiers with just two points in six matches. The Kenyan goal was scored by Hassan Abdallah (32) and Harun Mwale (63). Henri Eninful reduced the deficit from the penalty spot (90 + 4) to Les Éperviers.
