"The seven-time champions were in danger of suffering the greatest shock at the finals so far when they fell behind against Zimbabwe on Monday, Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush equalising after the break and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah scoring an added-time winner. South Africa had been pegged back by Angola as part of a forgettable first-half display in their opening Group B match earlier that evening, but Burnley's Lyle Taylor curled in the deciding goal 11 minutes from time in their 2-1 win."
"Egypt replaced Emam Ashour, who is on the bench this time, with Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed in the 33rd minute against Zimbabwe. Hassan called Al-Ahly's Ashour "a great player" but pointed out that the midfielder only returned in mid-November after two months out with Hepatitis A. "He is not fully fit yet after a long absence," added Hassan. "I decided to take him off to protect him from the pressure.""
Egypt and South Africa meet in Agadir aiming to remain perfect at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Egypt recovered from a first-half deficit to beat Zimbabwe after Omar Marmoush equalised and Mohamed Salah scored a stoppage-time winner. Manager Hassan substituted Emam Ashour after 33 minutes because Ashour is still regaining full fitness following two months out with Hepatitis A, and the manager said he removed him to protect him from pressure. Salah made his first start since November 22. South Africa were pegged back by Angola but Lyle Taylor curled the decisive goal in a 2-1 win.
