After Cameroon victory, Egypt national team assistant manager Diaa El-Sayed called upon the CAF to move the Africa Cup of Nations finale to the next day.

Egypt defeated Cameroon on penalties to set up a final clash against Senegal.

Speaking in the press conference after the game, Egypt assistant manager Diaa El-Sayed said: “We are the only team that played 120 minutes in three consecutive games. The players are fully focused, they have a good base to build on, and we thank their clubs for that.

“Salah being the group leader gives the players a lot of positive energy as well. “We also have a great head coach that has a lot of experience dealing with players.” “I believe Queiroz’s send-off was undeserved, I’d like to dedicate the win to both him and his assistant Roger de Sa."
