8 min: A lovely diagonal ball finds Olaïtan on the left, and he plays to the overlapping Roche as Benin begin to look dangerous … but a through ball leaves Omar Marmoush in a one-on-one with Dandjinou … he holds on for too long as the keeper gets out and makes himself big. You’d expect better from the Manchester City forward.
6 min: Benin drop deep before launching a counter, a dinked ball over the top trying to find Tosin, who is quickly sandwiched by two Egypt shirts.
4 min: Salah twists and turns when dropping into midfield, keeping hold of the ball to get Egypt moving.
3 min: Mohamed Hamdy, the Egypt left-back, commits a foul when pressing up the wing. The favourites begin to knock it around themselves … before Benin’s Tosin tries his luck from miles out. It’s a dreadful effort.
1 min: Benin wheel it around the back to begin with.
