Egypt Reach Semi-Final Following Extra-Time Win Over Jordan

Egypt Reach Semi-Final Following Extra-Time Win Over Jordan

Caitlin Dillon

Egypt qualified for the semi-finals of the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021 after defeating Jordan 3-1 at Al Wakrah's Al Janoub Stadium. 

The side came back from behind, with Jordan's Yazan Al Naimat opening the score-line in the 12th minute, before Egypt's Marwan Hamdy equalised just before half time. 

Neither side were able to get ahead during the remainder of normal time, however, and the match went into extra time. 

Just nine minutes later, Egypt's Ahmed Refaat took his team out ahead, before a last-gasp 119th-minute goal from Marwan Dawoud cemented his side's place in the semis. 

Egypt will take on Tunisia in the semis on Wednesday 15th December.
