Olympics Paris: Egypt Advances to Quarterfinals at Spain's Expense

The Egyptian Olympic team achieved a victory over their Spanish counterpart, winning 2-1 in the third round of the group stage of football competitions at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Tuesday. Both teams exchanged control of the match, with a slight advantage for the European team in the first thirty minutes, before the Brazilian coach Mikali's squad displayed successful tactical maneuvers with quick attacking transitions.

The goals for the Pharaohs came from Ibrahim Adel in the 41st and 62nd minutes, the first from a powerful shot after a pass from Ahmed Sayed Zizo, and the second capitalizing on a mistake by a Spanish defender. Samuel Imordioun scored Spain's only goal in the 90th minute. Egypt topped their group with 7 points, just one point ahead of the Spanish team, which finished second with 6 points.
