Egypt Get Bright Start To U-20 Afcon Campaign

Egypt began their U-20 Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Group A 1-0 win over South Africa at the Cairo International Stadium on Sunday evening.

Despite Amajita being the better team in terms of ball possession and shots on target, the Pharaohs took advantage of their first proper chance in the 62nd minute of play to dismantle the visitors.

Elsewhere, in Sundays earlier kick-off, Zambia and Sierra Leone played to a goalless draw at the Suez Canal Stadium.

Despite controlling the ball for long periods, the 2017 champions Zambia couldnt break down a stubborn Sierra Leone defence.

Chipolopolos Joseph Sabobo was a constant threat, testing goalkeeper Samba Bah multiple times, but ultimately failed to score.
