Egypt has become the first country to qualify for the last 16 of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
This follows their narrow 1-0 win over South Africa in a Group A fixture on Friday evening.
The Pharoahs had opened their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Zimbabwe.
Against the Bafana Bafana, Egypt scored the only goal of the encounter in the first half, after Mohamed Salah converted from the penalty spot.
And although they finished the half with 10 men after Mohamed Hany was shown a red card, the North Africans held on for all three points.
They will now face Angola in their last group fixture, while South Africa take on Zimbabwe.
