Egypt 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup

Egypt kicked-off the tournament in front of 80,000 spectators in the new Borg El Arab Stadium by convincingly beating Trinidad & Tobago 4-1. Afroto opened the scoring with magnificent individual effort only for Rochford to equalize later on. Egypt upped their game in the second adding goals from Mohamed Talaat and two from Zamalek's Hossam Arafat. The Young Pharaohs looked uneasy defending but fantastic looking forward. Egypt keeper Aly Lotfy helped keep the score as is with a number of fantastic saves. Egypt will play Paraguay tomorrow and must improve defensively to insure qualification with a win. Paraguay earlier played out boring 0-0 draw with Italy.

Results so far:
