Na December 29, 2025 wey dem go see Egypt and Angola face off for Grand Stade d’Agadir. Egypt don already qualify for Round of 16 with two wins, but Angola dey run against time to save their AFCON dream.
Egypt get momentum as dem drop two serious victories, one against Zimbabwe wey dem win 2-1 and another small 1-0 win against South Africa wey Salah collect penalty to seal am. Na because of this shakara dem sit down for the top of Group B.
But make we talk about Angola, dem dey fight for life. Their journey no dey sweet since dem start with two defeats—first na 2-1 loss to South Africa, and then dem squeeze one point against Zimbabwe for 1-1 draw. Now na to play Egypt, and if dem no win, e go be like say dem don pack their load go house.
As the match dey come, Egypt dey shine like star because dem never sabi how to lose to Angola for AFCON tournaments. Dem get strong squad, and goalkeeper El Shenawy dey quick like flash, blocking any serious threat while Rami Rabia dey clear ball like mute boy wey never talk since.
Coach Hossam Hassan still dey think on how to manage his star boys. Should he rest them sake of knockout round later? Or should he go all out for a clean 9 points as show of strength? Reports dey suggest say he fit swap some players, bring in Fattouh, Lasheen, and Ibrahim to give some boys rest. But nah, Salah still dey chill for bench, dey observe as normal superstar.
Hassan talk say, “I go make sure say my people dey happy. Every match na like cup final for us.” Him dey give shoutout to fans wey don show serious love since the tournament start; dem dey remind am say teamwork na the key.
On the flip side, Angola no fit afford to slack. Dem dey burn with pressure because their defense don scatter like sugarcane wey no get stick. If dem no collect three points, na bye-bye for AFCON 2025 for dem. But their talisman Gelson Dala fit be the answer, as him dey score goals like say na him dey play video game.
As dem kick off match, the vibes dey high. Angola start with plenty energy, dey push Egypt, but na drama dey unfold. Referee no gree them for penalty as Modesto fall for box; coach dey vex like say dem don steal im money as VAR no gree check.
Angola try again before the end, as Fredy don go down like say dem throw am for ground, earn free-kick. But when Benson take am, e miss like say hin dey practice for backyard. Na so their efforts dey end in finishing school.
Egypt still dey showcase why dem be favorites. Even with fresh players, dem dey create chances, Zizo don fire one serious shot wey keeper just barely save. El Shenawy and Rabia dey quick respond to any problem that dey come their side. And even when Angola try bring Nzola late for game, e just dey waste opportunity anyhow.
After the whistle blow for end of match, score still dey zero-zero; this one dey show how both teams dey balance each other. Angola don try, but dem no fit convert chances, and na serious wahala be this for dem.
As fans dey look forward to knockout stage, na Egypt wey dey smell glory, while Angola dey pray for miracle for next match. Na so the football dey run, full of emotions, gc drama, and sometimes, sweet magic wey dey make am shine.
