Highlights from the Round of 16 match of AFCON 2025 between Egypt and Benin at the Stade Adrar. It was a tightly contested match from the opening whistle. In the first half, Egypt created the most dangerous chances, but were repeatedly denied by outstanding saves from Benin’s goalkeeper and a lack of accuracy in front of goal, keeping the score level heading into halftime.
The script remained the same after the break. The Pharaohs dominated possession and pushed forward relentlessly, while the Squirrels held their ground with disciplined defending. The breakthrough finally arrived in the 69th minute when Marwan Attia unleashed a powerful, well-placed strike from distance that found the back of the Beninese net. However, Egypt’s celebration was short-lived, as Benin struck back in the 83rd minute, with Jodel Dossou capitalizing on a fortunate sequence to restore parity.
In extra time, Egypt reasserted their authority and turned pressure into reward. A superb header from Yasser Ibrahim and a screamer by Mohamed Salah at stoppage time sealed the victory and confirmed the Pharaohs’ place in the quarterfinals of AFCON 2025, capping off a match that demanded patience, composure, and decisive quality at the crucial moment.
