    Cameroon 0-0 Egypt

    Oof. Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui and Mahmoud El Wensh are both down in the Egypt box after a nasty clash of heads. Both players are rattled and need treatment.

    It wasn't a bad header from Hamdi Fathi to test Onana. Might have just been going over.

    Cameroon 0-0 Egypt

    Andre Onana is drawn into action to tip over an effort from Egypt after Mohamed Salah's initial free-kick was headed away. The flag is up, though. Wouldn't have counted.

    Now then. Mohamed Salah is fouled wide right, near the hosts box. Chance for Egypt to finally create something...

    Here is the closest we have come to a goal so far...

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 37 mins

    Cameroon 0-0 Egypt

    The ref has had enough of Egypt's fouls to halt Cameroon. Omar Kamal turns his back to body-check an opponent and sees yellow for it. It means a suspension for the defender in either the final or third/fourth play-off.

    Cameroon 0-0 Egypt

    It's one of those where the longer it goes with Cameroon dominating and missing chances, the more you start to wonder if Egypt are going to ride their luck and nick it. They do have a forward on the pitch who only needs one sniff.

    Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui might be a centre-back but has had two great chances this evening to score and in 2017 he scored two for Cameroon at Afcon.

    His second was in the semi-final win over Ghana as Cameroon went on to win the trophy by beating Egypt in the final.

    Sulaimon Adelekan: Mo Salah has barely had a touch. Cameroon has bullied Egypt so far but they need to take their chances.

    Cameroon 0-0 Egypt

    Another big chance for Cameroon. They're getting a lot of joy down the flanks. This time, the ball is cut back for Karl Toko Ekambi, but he also can't connect properly. His effort bounces down and is claimed by the Egypt keeper. In the attackers defence, the ball was slightly behind him. Should have done better, though.

    Cameroon 0-0 Egypt

    Mohamed Salah gets himself into the game, but only to foul a Cameroon man to stop him breaking. Not ideally where you want the Liverpool forward.

    Carlos Quieroz is on his feet, barking orders, pointing, directing. He's got earphones in too. I hope he's listening to relaxation tapes. Might be the only thing that stops him spontaneously combusting.

    Finally, a bit of possession for Egypt. Doesn't last long.

  14. Nice touchpublished at 19:27 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2022

    A nice gesture there from Vincent Aboubakar to signal his apologies to the Egypt keeper Gabaski after he recovered from their clash.

    Cameroon are dominating. They've had over 60% of possession and the clearest chances. Not seen much of Mohamed Salah so far.

  16. Shame about the crowdpublished at 19:26 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February 2022

    This stadium holds 60,000 but that has been capped at 80% due to Covid restrictions - we are a lot less than that maximum - the noise that would be generated by a full-house here would be quite remarkable and a shame we won't witness that today.

    Abougabal is going to carry on for now. The Egypt reserve keeper Mohamed Sobhi retakes his seat on the bench.

    The Egypt keeper has hurt himself here. Looks like his shoulder, done in challenge Vincent Aboubakar for that punch out.

    Burkina Faso lost their keeper to injury yesterday evening. Is it Egypt's turn tonight?

    Cameroon 0-0 Egypt

    A nice Cameroon move releases Nicolas Ngamaleu down the right but in turning back in the box he slips and takes a huge divert with him.

    Soon after, the hosts are able to deliver a cross, but Mohamed Abougabal is there to punch away.

    Optimistic from Omar Kamal, who cuts inside and into Cameroon territory before unleashing a dipping shot that skips wide of the target.
