Knowing that they were already all but through, Egypt were able to relax to some extent against Zambia, who, despite being full of energy and capable of a late equaliser, didn't have enough to prevent their elimination.

After a slow start, Zambia almost drew first blood. Having wasted set pieces in the opening minutes, they took matters into their own hands, but Chansa couldn't finish off a well-worked move with anything other than a weak effort straight at Al Hadari.
He was made to regret it on the quarter hour mark as the Pharoahs took the lead. Sayed Moawad crossed in to find Amr Zaki unmarked, and the prolific Zamalek man made no mistake with his sweet volley.
Zambia attempted to fight back, but again their dead ball delivery let them down, while some last-ditch defending from a surprisingly nervy-looking Egyptian side kept the Chipolopolo's free-flowing attacking at bay.
At the other end, though, Egypt were finding the going easier, with Zaki wasting a golden chance to fire home a second by hitting a twelve-yarder straight at the 'keeper. Ahmed Fathi then was inches away from making it 2-0 on the half-hour mark with a long-range effort, only to see it fly inches wide.
As half time approached the ball became bogged down in midfield, with Egypt tackling with a vengeance, and it seemed to be this steel that drove the Pharoahs forward right at the end of the first period. Zaki set up Moawad on the edge of the box, with the Ismaily man unselfishly teeing up the unmarked Abd Rabou. Mweene, though, pulled off an acrobatic save from the free header, and the half ended 1-0.
The Phaoroahs seemed set to continue their dominance in the second period after Hassan set up Zaki for what should have been a second after six minutes of the half, while Zambia wasted their final balls at the other end.
But as Amir Zaki's finishing became more and more wayward, Zambia began to put some moves together, with Clive Hachilensa coming close with a header fifteen minutes from time. Egypt, meanwhile, were beginning to tire, and perhaps knowing that only a miracle could see them eliminated, began to relax.
This helped to allow Chris Katongo through for a dramatic, but ultimately pointless equaliser. The Brondby ace dummied around Fathi inside the box, then played a splended shot across the 'keeper to seal a point.
Still, out Zambia went, while Egypt remain top of the group after sealing two wins in their previous two matches.
