The match between the Egyptian national team and Burkina Faso ended in a 0-0 stalemate as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, delaying the Pharaohs’ final ticket clinch until the next international break.
The encounter featured reciprocal opportunities for both teams, but the solidity of the defenses and the presence of the goalkeepers prevented any goals from being scored.
