The pharaohs were in complete chaos after newcomer Helder Costa and M'bala scored a penalty, putting Angola 2-0 ahead of Egypt.

Mohamed Elneny reduced the difference shortly before the end of the first half, and Akram Tawfik snatched the equalizer 60', bringing relief to the new coach of Egypt Carlos Queiroz, to join Morocco, Mali, and Senegal in the next stage.
