No separating Chaibi and Marmoush

Farès Chaibi’s Algeria salvaged a late 1-1 draw with Omar Marmoush’s Egypt, while Nnamdi Collins helped Germany U20s to victory in Dreieich.

Two Eagles players faced each other at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, on Monday. It looked for a while as if Omar Marmoush’s Egypt would overcome Farès Chaibi’s Algeria, after Hamdi Fathi had given the Pharaohs the lead in the 62nd minute. Marmoush entered the fray seven minutes later, before Islam Slimani struck deep into added time (90’+3) to earn the Desert Foxes a 1-1 draw. Chaibi played the whole 90 minutes in the United Arab Emirates.

Sweden’s Euro 2024 qualifier in Belgium was abandoned due to safety concerns following a fatal shooting in Brussels city centre. After consultation with the two teams, the game was called off at half-time with the score at 1-1.
