Egypt Coach Halim Toulan: We Could Have Beaten Kuwait 5-0

Match Analysis

Halim Toulan, Egypt's head coach at the Arab Cup, said Pharaohs squandered several chances against Kuwait in a 1-1 draw in Group C's opener in Qatar.

He added that Egypt could have sealed victory with four or five goals in the second half.

We missed a penalty, and the players gave their all, but luck did not favor them.

Toulan stressed that the coming matches would be brighter for Egypt after a mostly one-sided display.

He said the first half alone could have ended with a five-goal lead, and the second half could have as well.

Egypt will meet the UAE on Saturday and Jordan on Tuesday in the remaining group games.

The coach smiled wryly, acknowledging the work ahead while keeping expectations realistic. Fans hope progress comes quickly, for in football, a ball and mood travel fast; snacks steal shows.
