Reigning champions Egypt are not prepared to accept missing out on the African Cup of Nations, a tournament they won a record seven times, as they host South Africa in a do-or-die clash on Sunday.
If South Africa do manage to pick up all three points in Cairo they could in fact eliminate Egypt from qualifying for the competition. Should Bafana win they will see themselves on ten points while the Pharaohs would be stuck on one point with only two games to go.
Nothing but a victory over South Africa can keep alive Egypt’s slim chances of booking a place in the Nations Cup. The winners of the 11 groups and the best two runners-up will qualify for the tournament.
