situation at halftime
-at the moment: Senegal is in front of the group, but Egypt need to win anyway because otherwise they are behind Morocco. Goal difference is only a factor from a Senegalese 4:0 on as Senegal have to win by three goals more than Egypt.

-('injury time) after 2 minutes it is over

final score 1:1, Senegal have qualified for Korea/Japan 2002
Psychology has played a big factor as the confidence, a team like Egypt needs was early shaken by a huge 13th minute miss and a 3:0 halftime news from the parallel match at Windhoek.
In the same time Senegal have to thank a very disciplined and ambitious Algerian squad, mainly from local clubs, who without any pressure delivered a very good match out of a defensive counter position.
They should little signs from a possible lack of form because of the summer break but the match was helped too by an additional 15 minutes halt and recovery after the Egyptian penalty.
