France faced Argentina in the quarter-finals. The host side scored their only goal in the 5th minute and won the match. Among the four national sides that have reached the semi-finals, only France won each game of this Olympic tournament they have played without conceding a goal. France have reached the Olympic semi-finals for the first time since 1984. Enzo Millot will miss the match due to disqualification.
Egypt have hardly managed to reach the semi-finals. They beat Paraguay in the previous round only on penalties (1:1, 5:4 pp). Egypt levelled the score in the 88th minute. Egypt haven’t lost their last 4 Olympic tournament games (2 wins, 2 draws). Their best result is 4th place.
France have the weakest opponent in the semi-finals. The host side is supposed to win in regular time. Egypt were levelled on goals after 90 minutes with Paraguay and the Dominican Republic. The African side beat Uzbekistan (1:0) and Spain (2:1). However, it was a third round game of the group stage, with Spain playing with their reserve players.
France have a perfect defensive line. They haven’t conceded a goal yet. France is able to keep the clean sheet again as Egypt haven’t scored a lot of goals. Egypt have scored over 1 goal only in 2 out of their last 9 Olympic tournament games they’ve played, without scoring a goal at all in 5 of them.
However, Egypt can play well defensively too. They haven’t conceded over 1 goal in their last 8 Olympic tournament games.
