Assistant referee: El Hadji Malick Samba

Assistant referee: Djibril Camara

The Lions have a ball possession percentage of 64%, in addition to a brutal touch in which they hit 81% of their passes. This is one of their best weapons to tire opposing teams and generate offensive play.

In the previous African Cup match between the two teams, the victory went to the Egyptians.

They also won in the quarterfinals by a score of 1-0 with a goal by Kahraba in the 87th minute, advancing to the semifinals and then finishing second in the competition after losing the final to Cameroon.

The English team has already sent their best wishes for one of their stars, they are on the side of the Egyptian National Team for Mohamed Salah.

In contrast to Morocco, Egypt has one of the worst attacks in the African Cup, and they contrast so much that they have only scored two goals in four games compared to their opponents' 7 goals. 

They will have to improve this factor a lot if they are to win today. 

They are dreaming of advancing to the next round, have one of the most effective forwards in the championship and will be looking to win at all costs.

One of the elite players of the Moroccan team is none other than Achraf Hakimi, the current Inter Milan player. 

He is an unmatched right back when it comes to defending, and not only that, he also contributes when his team goes forward, which is why he has already scored two goals in this African Cup. 

Of course, when we talk about the Egyptian national team we always have to mention Mohamed Salah, one of the nation's greatest footballers of all time. 

The current Liverpool player has had a good participation in this African Cup and his performance will be fundamental for the team to advance to the next round. 

The Moroccan team is dreaming of reaching the title, and has not lost a single match since the tournament began. 

On matchday one they defeated Ghana and then Comoros, to close with a two-goal draw against Gabon, who was their toughest opponent, but in the round of 16 they beat Malawi 2-1 to reach the Quarterfinals, where they are currently. 

The only team to beat Egypt in the first match of the regular phase was Nigeria, which has already been eliminated from the tournament.

They have since defeated Guinea-Bissau, Sudan and advanced to the round of 16 after defeating Ivory Coast 5-4 on penalties, so they are now looking to advance to the semifinals. 

The Egypt vs Morocco match will be played at the stadium Ahmadou Ahidjoin the city of Yaoundé, Cameroon with a capacity of 42,500 people. 

The stadium was inaugurated in 1972 to become one of the venues for that year's African Nations Cup. 

It was named after Ahmadou Ahidjo, Cameroon's first president after the country's independence in 1960.

Today it is mainly used for soccer matches and athletics competitions, being the home of Canon Yaoundé and Tonerre Yaoundé, as well as being used as a venue for matches of the Cameroon national soccer team.

My name is Salvador Espino and I’ll be your host for this game.
