"Egypt had the only clear first-half opening after Mohamed Hamdy's cross rebounded to Omar Marmoush, but his tame effort was comfortably cleared off the goal-line by Yohan Roche, while Rami Rabia was also denied on the line in the second half, with Tamimou Ouorou making an excellent block. Mohamed El Shenawy then smothered Dossou's effort at the other end before Attia picked out the top-left corner from the edge of the D after latching onto Mohamed Hany's pull-back in the 69th minute."
"Seven minutes into the first period of extra time, a short corner was played into Attia, who curled a wonderful delivery onto the penalty spot and Yasser's looping header nestled into the top-left corner. Emam Ashour lifted a dipping shot just over the bar as Egypt sought a consolation goal before Salah rounded off the scoring in the fourth minute of stoppage time, firing past Marcel Dandjinou from range after a blistering counter-attack."
Marwan Attia scored from the edge of the D in the 69th minute and later set up Yasser Ibrahim's extra-time header to give Egypt the lead. Jodel Dossou equalised for Benin in the 83rd minute after capitalising on a rebound. Early chances featured Mohamed Hamdy's cross to Omar Marmoush and goal-line interventions by Yohan Roche and Tamimou Ouorou. Mohamed El Shenawy made key saves. Emam Ashour forced a near miss before Mohamed Salah sealed the 3-1 victory in stoppage time with a long-range finish following a swift counter-attack.
