Despite a spirited performance, Egypt was ultimately defeated in extra time, concluding the match with ten players after defender Omar Fayed received a red card just two minutes into the first half of extra

Micale's men began the game strongly, coming close to an early goal, but Ibrahim Adel's second-minute volley narrowly missed the target.

The Egyptians maintained a balanced game, controlling the field while the hosts struggled to breach their defense.

The most significant threat came four minutes before halftime when Loic Bade's header struck the post.

In the second half, Egypt took the lead through Mahmoud Saber's close-range strike in the 61st minute.

Subsequently, the Egyptians shifted to a defensive strategy to preserve their advantage, but Philippe Mateta managed to equalize late in the game, capitalizing on a defensive error to beat the Egyptian goalkeeper, eight minutes from time.

Extra time saw Egypt reduced to ten men after defender Omar Fayed's dismissal, with Mohamed Tarek replacing winger Ibrahim Adel to compensate for the numerical disadvantage.

Mateta scored his second goal with a close-range header seven minutes later, making the task even more challenging for the exhausted Egyptian side, who had played their second 120-minute match and were now tasked with overturning the scoreline with a player down.

Michael Olise dashed Egypt's hopes by scoring the third goal in the 107th minute.

Egypt are now set to face Morocco in the bronze medal match on Thursday, after the Moroccan side fell 2-1 to Spain in the earlier semifinal on Monday.
