We bring you live coverage of the Egypt vs. Tunisia match, part of the third round of the North African qualifiers held in Ismailia.
The Egyptian national team won their first match against Libya by two clean goals, and did not play a match in the second round due to the participation of five teams in the tournament, which requires one team to have a bye in each round.
Egypt's lineup: Omar Abdel Aziz - Mohamed Awad - Nour Ashraf - Eyad Medhat - Mohanned Al-Shami - Younes Al-Mallah - Mohamed Samir "Konta" - Mohamed Hamad - Omar El-Azb - Anas Rashed - Mohamed Haitham
On the bench: Eyad Tamer – Abdullah Badr – Mohamed Farag - Omar Tharwat – Omar Amin - Yassin Atef – Mahmoud Salah – Ali El-Garhy – Adham Karim

Then Egypt is in third place with 3 points from one match.
Tunisia is also in third place with two points from two matches, followed by Morocco with one point from one match, and finally Libya at the bottom of the table with no points after losing their first two matches.
