118. What a chance!
Sobhi has the ball on the byline, drops his shoulder, the defender slips and gives him all the time in the world to cross.
He drills it across the six yard box, any touch would surely take it in.
Fortunately for Cameroon it fizzes through and goes out for a throw in.
Cameroon 0 Egypt 0
117. Zizo comes on for Sherif.
Considering he came on a substitute himself at the start of extra time, that must hurt.
I am guessing we will see Zizo take a penalty if we go that far.
