Egypt vs Ivory Coast live: Score and latest updates from Afcon 2025 quarter-final tonight

CLOSE! The first big chance for the Ivory Coast as Ibrahim slips and they pounce near the edge of the box, with the cutback finding Sangare unmarked. He takes the shot from near the penalty spot but it’s blocked, and the flag goes up when the Elephants try to collect the rebound.

Egypt look fairly dangerous pretty much every time they go forward, though Attia can’t get the cross past the first man this time round.

Marmoush thinks he’s almost clean through – and could have won a penalty as he’s clipped and goes down – but it turns out he’d strayed offside.

It’s been a fairly torrid opening period for the holders, though they have looked fairly settled when they’re in possession.

The Ivory Coast are still trying to settle as they look to recover from conceding early, and Guessand does well to win a free-kick around 35 yards out.

Amad swings it in but the Pharaohs clear for now.

What can the Ivory Coast muster up in response to falling behind early?

Amad beats his man in his first 1-v-1 but sees his cross turned behind for a corner.

The ball comes in but Egypt manage to head it clear.

GOAL! There’s barely been any time to settle and Egypt are ahead!

It’s Omar Marmoush who opens the scoring, latching onto a forward pass and knocking Kossounou off the ball before racing into the box and sliding a low finish past Fofana.
