The streets are empty, there's no movement, human activity has been minimized to emergency cases only. That was the case in the streets of Cairo from quarter to seven until nine last night. A lot of companies in Cairo even allowed their employees to leave one hour early to watch the match. Although it was broadcast on national TV many people preferred to watch it in a cafe where they could see it on the big screen. The cold didn't stop people from going out to watch the match. The fans were a little bit worried about it after the result of the last match with Zambia (1-1) which was described by many fans and as "not bad".

The beginning was really powerful for the Egyptian team and before the first quarter they managed to score a goal from a penalty. But three minutes later Angola got even with a perfect goal. That turned off the heat for the fans a little bit. But then, about ten minutes before the end of the first half the Egyptian team got another goal- and that set the fans on fire again. They had trust once more in their team.

The first part of the second half witnessed a partial control from the Egyptian team over the playground but it was visible in the second part that the Egyptian team was fighting to keep away the attacks of Angolan team. The match ended 2-1 for Egypt but it made many football fans question weather the Egyptian team is powerful enough to win the cup this season."
