Assisting Daniel Laryea were Kwasi Acheampong Brobbey as Assistant II, Roland Nii Dodoo Addy as Assistant Referee II, and Charles Benle Bulu as the Fourth Official. The match commissioner for the game was Aboulkacem Abdellah from Morocco.

In an enthralling contest, Egypt emerged triumphant with a 2-1 victory over Guinea, securing their qualification for the upcoming 2023 AFCON tournament.

Guinea took the lead in the 26th minute when Guirassy finished off a well-crafted team move from close range. However, Egypt displayed resilience and managed to equalize just before halftime.



Trezeguet demonstrated clinical finishing as he found the back of the net from inside the box, courtesy of a precise through ball from Mohamed Salah.

The Pharaohs continued to press for a win and ultimately sealed their triumph with a goal from Mostafa. Following an excellent cutback from Trezeguet, Mostafa found himself unmarked in the box and calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper.

The Ghanaian officiating team received accolades for their professionalism and competence in ensuring fair play and adherence to the rules of the game.
