The match between Egypt and R.D. Congo was not resolved until extra time, in a game where both teams showed their best versions but failed to be accurate in the final play. From the beginning of the match until the second half of extra time, they couldn't convert the numerous goal-scoring opportunities they created. The first appearance on the scoreboard came from R.D. Congo through Elia Meschack's feet in the 37th minute, surprising everyone with a goal from a throw-in.

On the other hand, Egypt managed to equalize with an incredible penalty kick by Mostafa Mohamed in the 45th minute.

The game continued in the same dynamic until extra time. The tired faces of the "Pharaohs" changed to ones of terror after Mohamed Sharaf's expulsion and R.D. Congo's constant attempts to score. However, they found Egypt's good fortune and an incredible Mohamed Gabal who stopped all of "Les Léopards" shots.

For over 120 minutes, both teams couldn't harm each other, and Egypt's ghosts appeared in a penalty shootout that went down to the goalkeepers. Unfortunately, Mohamed Abou Gabal missed Egypt's last penalty, a situation that goalkeeper M’paso took advantage of to give R.D. Congo the victory and qualification.
