Egypt on Monday beat Kenya 3-2 in Cairo their final warm-up game before heading to the 2017 U20 AFCON in Lusaka.

Al Ahly striker Karim Nedved put the four-time champions ahead from the penalty spot in the 20th minute before his clubmate and midfielder Ahmed Hamdy added the second ten minutes later.

El Dakhleya striker Mostafa Mohamed then ensured the hosts went 3-0 into the break.

Kariobangi Sharks striker Ovellah Ochieng then fired in a brace for Kenya in the 50th and 84th minutes.

In-between Ochieng’s brace, Egypt were reduced to ten men after Petrojet midfielder Ahmed Mostafa was sent-off after a second booking in the 58th minute.

  1. Burn it we are not politicians, its football please! FAZ why are you easily swayed by the motions of people. Don’t bring politics in football. You would rather play Mozegeters music than that song!

  2. Tell those musicians to contact me I have a very nice bustele Chipolopolo song never ever sung in Zambia very well composed believe you me this will be the Anthem (theme) song of Chipolopolo. All those JKs and crew are singers not composers that’s why they run out of ideas.
    I am not joking I am a Singer and Song writer.
