After last Friday's victory in Cairo by the slightest difference, Egypt led by Liverpool superstar and Luis Diaz's teammate, Mohamed Salah, visited Senegal at the Stade Omnisport Paul Biya in Cameroon with a capacity of 46,000 spectators.

It should be remembered that this duel was the rematch of 'The Pharaoes' that last February lost from the penalty spot to Sadio Mané's team for the final of the African Cup of Nations and they had the hope of playing their second consecutive world cup.

However, over the four minutes of the first half, the locals would open the account through the 25-year-old striker in the service of Villareal de España, Boulaye Dia, who equalized the series to stoke the hope of the 'Green Stars' after a bad clearance by Omar Gaber.

Before the end of the first half, Egypt lost both sides; Omar Garber and Rami Rabia due to injury who left the field in the 29th and 36th minutes respectively.

At the start of the second stage, the locals approached the Egyptian goal again in search of the second goal, but failed to score. As the minutes went by, Egypt looked better thanks to the entry of Ahmed Sayed, who gave the pharaonic team more dynamics in the midfield.

After meeting the 90 regulations, the commitment would go overtime as in the final of the African National Cup played by both teams 50 days ago.

In the first 15 minutes Senegal, driven by the fervor of its audience, came close to achieving the second goal, but the Egyptian goalkeeper was immense avoiding the fall of his portico on several occasions. Exhaustion was present and with it the resignation that luck was cast and everything would be defined from the criminal point.

This definition could not be more dramatic since the first two collectors on each side failed in their executions, which generated more anguish among the attendees. For Senegal they converted; Ismalia Sar, Almadou Dieng and Sadio Mané who sent her to save to buy the direct ticket to Qatar 2022.

In this way, Senegal will play its third and second world cup in a row while Mohamed Salah will be the great absent from the orbital event.

Senegal's first participation in a world cup was in Korea & Japan 2002, on that occasion the Africans surprised in the opening match by defeating France 1-0 current champion at this time with a score by Papa Bouba Diop, and advanced to the round of 16 of the competition.
