Match context
Egypt earned a historic milestone by drawing 0-0 with Angola to close Group B at the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 in Morocco.
The Pharaohs, led by coach Hossam Hassan, advanced to the knockout stage with seven points, topping the group, while Angola exited with two points.
Key observations
Opta's statistics highlighted the starting XI Hassan chose for this game, noting a notable lineup overhaul compared with the South Africa match (the second group game).
Opta noted that Egypt became the first AFCON side since 2010 to deploy two completely different starting elevens in consecutive matches.
Egypt opened their campaign with a 2-1 win over Zimbabwe, followed by a 1-0 victory against South Africa.
Conclusion: The Pharaohs\' performance demonstrated tactical flexibility and resilience, even in a goalless draw that sealed top spot.
Punchline 1: If suspense had a scoreboard, this match would be 0-0, a masterclass in drama.
Punchline 2: Angola left with two points; Egypt with seven — the only math that matters in football is who lifts the trophy, not the calculator.
