Egypt stayed unbeaten at AFCON after drawing 0-0 with Angola in their final Group B match, with Mohamed Salah unused on the bench. The Pharaohs had already secured a last-16 spot, so the result was about managing minutes rather than chasing goals. Coach Hossam Hassan rotated heavily and also rested Omar Marmoush, keeping key players fresh for the knockouts. Egypt had qualified via earlier wins over Zimbabwe and South Africa, then closed the group with a clean sheet at Adrar Stadium in Morocco.

Lionel Messi (Argentina) and Lautaro Martinez (Argentina) each scored and assisted in a 2-0 win over Angola, guiding the world champions through a competitive friendly in Luanda and underlining Argentina’s continued strength as Lionel Scaloni’s side look toward more trophies in North America next summer. Angola started brightly, forcing Geronimo Rulli (Argentina) into an important early save before Martínez finished a Messi through ball before half time. After the break Angola battled hard, but Martínez returned the favour late on, setting up Messi for a clinical second that capped another dominant individual display.
