Egypt emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Guinea, securing their qualification for the 2023 AFCON.
Guinea struck the first goal in the 26th minute when Guirassy tapped home a well-executed team move from close range.
However, Egypt fought back and managed to equalize four minutes before halftime. Trezeguet hit a clinical finish by firing home from inside the box, courtesy of a slick through ball from Mohamed Salah.
The Pharaohs continued their pursuit of victory and ultimately sealed it with a goal from Mostafa who found the back of the net after a delightful cutback from Trezegue left him unmarked in the box.
Egypt accumulated 12 points from five rounds of matches, securing a nine-point lead over the third-placed team with one qualification match remaining.
Guinea, on the other hand, currently sits in second place with nine points and needs only a draw in the final qualification match in September to secure their spot in the final tournament.
