Egypt secured a commanding 2–0 victory over Ethiopia in their FIFA World Cup qualification Group A clash, with Omar Marmoush and Mohamed Salah on the scoresheet. Playing in a 4–3–3 formation, Egypt controlled the match through clinical finishing despite modest underlying metrics; they generated 0.78 xG and converted both clear-cut chances to maximum effect. Ethiopia, deployed in a 3–5–2 setup, offered minimal attacking threat and could not test Egypt's goalkeeper, who faced no shots on target. The home side's defensive solidity was equally impressive, conceding 0.0 xG to keep a clean sheet. This emphatic win strengthens Egypt's grip atop the qualifying group and underscores their credentials as CAF frontrunners.
