Ghazl El-Mahalla defender Yahya Zakaria opened the scoring for Egypt, while ZED FC winger Mostafa 'Messi' Saad doubled the lead 12 minutes later, and second-half substitute Masry midfielder Mido Gaber sealed the victory in the 66th minute.
Both sides started strongly, exchanging scoring chances and pushing forward for an early goal, especially Tunisia, who were seeking revenge for their previous 1-0 defeat on Saturday.
Six minutes into the match, Zakaria sent a powerful strike from outside the area following a counter-attack, handing Egypt the lead.
Tunisia have tried to control the game, pushing forward for an equalizer, but Egypt's solid defense rebuffed all their attempts.
In the 18th minute, Ahly winger Hussein El-Shahat delivered a precise cross into the area, with Saad converting from close range following poor handling by the Tunisian defense.
Despite Tunisia's attempts to threaten Egypt's goal, they have failed to pose real dangers. Egypt have relied on dangerous fast breaks with their frontline squandering numerous opportunities.
Tunisia's first genuine chance came just a minute before the break, with two consecutive shots: a long-range effort that was blocked by goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shenawy, and a follow-up that went over the bar.
Coach Helmi Toulan introduced goalkeeper Mahmoud Gad at halftime, who made a brilliant save to deny Tunisia from close range just before the hour mark.
Seven minutes later, Gaber received the ball on the right flank and fired a long-range shot that sealed the victory for Egypt.
The Pharaohs have been drawn into Group C of the Arab Cup alongside Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and the winner of the qualifier between Mauritania and Kuwait.
In a significant boost to the tournament's prestige, the Local Organising Committee has confirmed that the 2025 Arab Cup will feature a record prize pool exceeding $36.5 million, aimed at enhancing its profile on the international football stage.
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has chosen to field this squad in the upcoming Arab Cup, as the senior side will be competing in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025, which runs concurrently from 21 December to 18 January in Morocco.
