00:30to make it through to the knockout rounds of this.
00:33It's on the clock.
00:36Here come Burkina Faso early on.
00:40It's just about getting to its intended targets.
00:44And the first shot of the day is from, let's see, headed down.
00:51And this is Rosti.
00:53It was a real handful on Monday and nearly making
00:58a breakthrough here.
01:03Barrow the captain up for this one too.
01:04And it's claimed well by Hatton.
01:09Yellow cards again tonight.
01:11Hatton headed straight up into the air by Adewi.
01:16Keeper comes and it doesn't claim,
01:18but it's booted away by Barrow.
01:23Barrow up for it again.
01:29Comes towards the six yard box and Hatton came charging out.
01:36This is two of 48 teams for the first time,
01:41just like the senior version.
01:42It'll be the next year.
01:45Let's see for the cross.
01:47It's Adewi who rises to head clear
01:50and the shot from a distance.
01:53Took a touch on its way through.
01:59Pitting for a record-extending 13th African crown.
02:03Now this is Rosti.
02:07Lays it off for Abdul-Karim and that's well over.
02:12Right from well inside his own half.
02:16Two on one over Cameroon.
02:19This is Barrow.
02:21Just lost his balance at an unfortunate moment.
02:27It's the long throw looking for Abdul-Karim,
02:30but it's by the head of Sacco.
02:34Let it bounce initially.
02:36It's Sifdavo.
02:41Comes to the corner towards the near post
02:43and it's hooked away just in front of the goal line.
02:49That's back phased by this sort of distance.
02:52Three men on the wall for Egypt.
02:57Certainly imagine he's going to have a pop at goal here
03:01at Tapsoba.
03:02He does and it's swerves awkwardly
03:05in front of the keeper.
03:06And the rebound is swept up and Burkina Faso have the lead.
03:13It was a stinging effort from Tapsoba.
03:17And the keeper can only beat him by a few points.
03:21And the keeper can only beat it away.
03:24Sifdavo was the man on hand to bundle in the rebound.
03:31The young stallions strike first shortly before halftime.
03:39Have another look at it.
03:41Just about stayed on side at the center back
03:45and snuck it inside at the uprights.
03:51Sifdavo dipped on him awkwardly as it neared him.
03:58Nassim Hattam couldn't turn it to safety.
04:03Straight back into the danger zone
04:05and Sifdavo has given Burkina Faso the lead.
04:16I was just saying how we hadn't seen a great deal of Tapsoba
04:21so far in his first half.
04:22But he gets a slight of goal, though,
04:28and makes life difficult for the Egyptian keeper, Nassim Hattam.
04:35Could only carry his free kick right back in front of him
04:41with Sifdavo turning home the rebound.
04:47This might just be getting checked for offsides,
04:52but to be OK, Dabo.
05:12Still waiting for the verdict.
05:18As it stands, though, Burkina Faso leading Egypt by a goal to nil.
05:25Goal to Yoko.
05:28So hooked into the area and shoveled away by Hattam.
05:35There goes the whistle for halftime.
05:39It's Burkina Faso who are leading Egypt by a goal to nil.
05:45And it's going to be a tough game for Egypt.
05:49It's going to be a tough game for Egypt.
05:53It's going to be a tough game for Egypt.
05:59There goes the whistle for halftime.
06:02It's Burkina Faso who are on course for a second straight win in Group B.
06:10After Alukman Tapsoba's free kick was parried straight to Sifdavo.
06:15Four minutes to four at halftime.
06:18Both coming on.
06:24Now, Shami started the defeat by South Africa three days ago.
06:29He was replaced by Mohamed in the line-up this evening.
06:35But has come on for the second half, and that looked suspiciously to ground,
06:42but was able to hold onto possession.
06:44And that's a ball in that's scooped up, but had won it back,
06:51but then gave it straight away.
06:58Cross in, and the keeper spills it.
07:02He's teed up.
07:08Farid with the throw to the area.
07:11We'll see who takes charge.
07:19And then Tapsoba is played through by Sakho.
07:22Tapsoba one-on-one here.
07:24Chips it towards goal.
07:25It's a heavy touch by Aldegre, but back just in front of the line.
07:40Tapsoba here.
07:41Another chance for his third again.
07:43The follow-up.
07:46I'm not sure what happened there in the Egyptian defense.
07:48Just blends in with the grass.
07:51A move in.
07:55It's going to be Atiyah, and it does hit the wall.
07:58But Ouedrago off his line quickly.
08:01Top marks to Ouedrago.
08:02He got there ahead of El Zoghbi.
08:04And here come Makina Faso looking for that second, and they have it.
08:08It's crashed home.
08:10That's a terrific finish.
08:12It's Tapsoba.
08:13Who else?
08:16Doubling Makina Faso's lead.
08:20Looked as if they might have made a mess of that opening,
08:23but look when Tapsoba chested down,
08:27and then the second touch on the volley was fantastic.
08:35And Makina Faso 2-0 ahead here.
08:40They're around about 20 minutes remaining.
08:42They are on course for the quarterfinals,
08:46as Egypt look to be edging closer to the exit.
08:52They had a big hand in the opener.
08:54It's free kick causing problems for Yassin Hatem.
08:59It was skipped towards him from close range by Latif
09:05and came off his shoulder.
09:10First touch and then second giving Hatem no chance.
09:18Slamming the volley past Egyptian keeper.
09:23And heading over to the corner flank.
09:27Roshdi.
09:30First time ball, it's a good one.
09:32Headed straight up into the air.
09:34And plopped out.
09:37Shami.
09:39Short.
09:41Shami.
09:42Looking for the far post, and it's headed off the line.
09:46It's a terrific clearance.
09:48The extra height.
09:53And it comes towards Makina Faso.
09:57Carry on Roshdi.
10:00Threaded through to Atiyah.
10:02Atiyah has pulled one back.
10:05And that's a lifeline for Egypt.
10:07It's the captain, Benal Atiyah.
10:10His first goal of the finals.
10:14Egypt giving themselves an outside chance here.
10:23It's starting to fall.
10:26Night falls in Casablanca.
10:31Roshdi.
10:34An excellent pass to his skipper.
10:38That was a sharp finish from Atiyah.
10:41Driving low past a couple of defenders as well as the goalkeeper.
10:53So there will be some late drama this evening.
10:59Egypt fighting to stay alive in the competition.
11:05Not dead and buried just yet.
11:14Tapsoba.
11:16To Nana.
11:18Looking for his team's third.
11:19Nana.
11:21It's a vital block.
11:23It's Mami again.
11:26Inside to Atiyah.
11:28Hamad.
11:31Roshdi.
11:33Roshdi with the toe poke.
11:40Degry.
11:44It's headed on towards Roshdi.
11:49And Koulibaly.
11:51If it might land on the foot of Roshdi.
11:53Corner taken.
11:54It's a deep one.
11:56Bobbled slightly but held in the end by Ouedrago.
11:59Hamad.
12:05Atiyah rather done well to win it back.
12:07Atiyah.
12:08To wrap up a spot in the last eight.
12:11Shami with the corner.
12:14It's headed on and there's a chance here right at the end.
12:16Beaten away by Ouedrago.
12:18Another opportunity.
12:20And it's dragged wide by El Sogbi.
12:22Farid.
12:27Here it comes.
12:29And it's back pedalling is Ouedrago.
12:32Ouedrago.
12:47March forward.
12:49One last roll of the dice.
12:51But it's too far.
12:54Five minutes are up.
12:56And it's all over.
12:58And it's 2-2 to the quarterfinals.
13:00They have beaten Egypt.
13:02Securing their second win in a row in Group B.
13:05Egypt bowing out of the competition with still a game to go.
