    Mohamed Salah goes to turf after flicking the ball past his marker. Don't think the defender touched him, though.

    When Aston Villa's Trezeguet came on at half-time in the quarter-final against Morocco he helped spark the comeback from a goal down.

    He combined well with Salah in the game - can he do it again here?

    The first chance of the half goes to Egypt. It's a decent one too and Mostafa Mohamed gets it on target, courtesy of a header from a free-kick. A positive start to the half.

    We've had a change. Trezeguet is on. Premier League fans will know him. Amr Al Sulaya is off.

    We go again. Someone has to win this. But who and how?

    BBC Three

    Former Cameroon captain Geremi: "That is exactly what I was expecting, I knew Egypt would come and sit behind and Cameroon would make the game. Now they have to be more concentrated because Egypt will play on the counter. They have a dangerous player in Mohamed Salah and they have to pay attention to him.

    "Cameroon dominated the first half but did not score with the chance they had, we hope they will open up the game in the second half because Egypt have to come out and attack.

    "In the second half we will see more occasions. The game will be wider and the difference will come from the set-pieces."

    By the end of the game, you will see heavy legs. There will be more pressure. The team with more calmness and quality in the final third will make the difference. We didn't see much of Boubakar in that first-half, but I think we will see more in the second.

    Egypt are doing well, trying to frustrate Cameroon, who are at home and it is upto them to make the game.

    In the last 20 minutes, they were looking quite desperate and you saw a couple of counter-attacks from Egypt.

    The wing-backs are going forward like crazy, they have to be careful.

    But we don't see Egypt doing much, Mohamed Salah does not have anything. There is nothing, no shots, nothing.

    Cameroon have kept Mohamed Salah away in the final third. When he gets the ball under control, facing you in the final third you are a dead man. They are pressing high up the pitch because he has to run 40m back and forth every single time. They are doing very well. As soon as they lose possession, the full-backs were up on the flanks. They just need to be more clinical.

  10. Egypt holding onpublished at 19:51 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2022

    Egypt managed to withstand a huge amount of pressure and survived several chances for Cameroon to take the lead in the first 30 minutes.

    Then the Pharaohs seemed to be able disrupt the Cameroon progress with a mixture of tough tackles and a few breaks for injuries (some legitimate others less so!).

    Cameroon need to be a lot better in front of goal and also be careful not to get caught on the counter attack by Mo Salah, especially,

    It is turning into a real tournament semi-final, both sides have capable players.

    These matches are not won 4-3, or 5-4, the details will make the difference.

    Brades: The dive by Salah there was blatant and bad, don't players realise they are on slo mo zoomed in cameras all day.

    Well. Cameroon have been the better side and had the better chances. But we remain goalless. That place in the final is still there to be seized.

    Egypt want a free-kick as Omar Marmoush is tripped by Collins Fai as he charges toward the Cameroon goal. He won't get it, though. Few tempers on show at times, mainly from the Pharoahs players towards the official.

    It has gone very stop-start.

    Well, a lot more stop than start.

    It has all gone a little awry.

    Oh, Egypt almost get Mohamed Salah in down the right. He pointed where he wanted the pass to go and Omar Kamal is just a few yards off with his delivery.

    We'll have three added minutes. Think both teams could do with a bit of a recharge and rethink.

    It's very stop-start now. Two more players come together and go to ground.

    The flow has been stripped from the game.

    It has been competitive. Not quite the smoothest in the final third like Senegal showed against Burkina Faso last night.

    The Cameroon defender is up again and ready to go. El Wensh is getting some serious strapping wrapped around his bonce.
