Paul Le Guen's team regained their composure and began to look dangerous once more, with Emana's fierce strike well saved by Egypt keeper EssamElHadary.
Four minutes later, Halliche was harshly adjudged by the referee to have fouled Egypt keeper EssamElHadary as he went for a Balhadj ball, and picked up his first yellow card.
Gyan's early free kick hit the Egyptian wall and from the resulting corner, the ball fell back to the striker, who attempted an ambitious overhead kick, which sailed over EssamEl Hadary's goal.
