مواجهة مصر والبرازيل

FilGoal.com's first-ever live coverage to an Egypt game as the Pharaohs tackle the mighty Brazil in Doha.

Young goalkeeper Mohamed Al-Shennawi is entrusted with the Egypt number one shirt in an attack-minded starting line-up for Bob Bradley's men.

Egypt team: Al-Shennawi - Elmohamady, Nassef, Gomaa, Hegazi - Ghaly, Fathi, Abd-Rabou, Shikabala - Meteb, Zidan

Brazil team: Diego Alves, Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Alex, Hernanes, Lucas, Fernandinho, Bruno Ceasr, Hulk, Jonas

1' Here we go as Egypt kick off their first game against a high-profile nation since a 3-1 defeat in England last year.

3' A good move from Egypt ends up withThiago Silva clearing Shikabala's cross

4' The first attempt on goal comes from Hernanes, who tries a long-range effort that went high

6' Meteb wins a freekick from a good position, surely Shikabala will take this

6' That was close...Diego Alves makes a full-stretch save to deny the Zamalek ace!

8' Abd-Rabou brings down Hulk at the other end and its a freekick for Brazil

9' From way out, Hulk fires wide...Al-Shennawi is still untested

9' A good chance for Brazil...Hulk nutmegs Zidan but his cross finds no one, much to the relief of Egypt's defense

9' Another foul, this time Dani Alves shoots but Al-Shennawi easily saves...although the Egypt keeper looked nervous

12' Now it seems like Brazil are taking charge as Egypt struggle to put the ball forward

14' But Bradley's men look organized at the back, with Brazil only passing the ball around

15' Ghaly brings down Alex Sandro to gift Brazil another promising freekick

15' Alves passes to Bruno Cesar instead of shooting, but Fathi recovers the ball

16' A relatively decent start for Egypt as the score was already 2-0 for Brazil after 12 minutes when the two sides last met in 2009

18' Now its all in midfield as defenders at both ends are having the attackers in their pockets

20' A good spell of play from Egypt ends up with Fathi shooting well wide of Diego Alves' goal

22' The rythem of the game is anything but up...a good omen for the Egyptians

24' Egypt are very organized in defense and the pressing in midfield is working well against a second-string Selecao

27' The first chance for Brazil, Hulk muscles his way past two Egypt defenders but strikes wildly high...relief for Al-Shennawi, great chance

28' Remember that Hulk, who scored 35 times for Porto last season, is still looking for his first international goal in seven games

30' Bruno Ceasr from tries his luck from range...routine save for Al-Shennawi

31' Brazil are gradually taking the game to Egypt now...the next few minutes can be crucial

33' Great run from 20-year-old Alex Sandro, takes on Shikabala, nutmegs Gomaa and Al-Shennawi's fingertips parries wide...better play from the men in yellow

36' Hulk is furious with the referee as he wants another freekick from Gomaa's challenge

37' A super through ball from Dani Alves to Bruno Cesar and the latter tries to decieve Al-Shennawi, but the Egypt keeper rushes out to collect the ball

39 GOAL FOR BRAZIL...Jonas with his first international goal

39' The Egypt defense AWOL as Hulk is allowed with a lot of space, sends in a low cross for Jonas to tap in at the far post

40' Brazil cooling down the game after taking the lead...Egypt aiming to avoid another goal

41' Zidan and Meteb have hardly touched the ball in the last half-hour

44' Thiago Silva and David Luiz are leaving goalkeeper Diego Alves with very little work to do after his early save from Shikabala's shot

46' Its half time and one can say that Egypt are fortunate its only 1-0

Second half

46' The second half gets under way, with Bradley making two changes by introducing Ibrahim Salah and Walid Soliman for Zidan and Ghaly

46' That is quick!...Jonas almost scoring again as he rounds Al-Shennawi, but Hegazi with a brave goal-line clearance

47' The highly-rated Ismaili starlet injures himself in the process

48' Hegazi is back on his feet and play resumes

50' Egypt are playing very deep and Brazil are easily controlling the tempo of the game

53' Archetypal passing from both sides and the crowd - mostly Egyptians - are getting impatient as they call for some action

57' Its getting more and more boring as both keepers have hardly touched the ball after the break

58' Hulk tries his luck with a very ambitious freekick but his attempt goes poorly wide and there is still no action

59' GOAL FOR BRAZIL...Jonas again

59' The Valencia forward with another easy tap-in on the rebound after Al-Shennawi had failed to handle Fernandinho's header from a freekick

61' Finally some action from Egypt...Elmohamady tests Diego Alves with a fine effort and the Valencia keeper parries away

61' Now Bradley's men are caught on the counter and Hernanes is through on goal, but his shot goes wide of the post...poor effort from the Lazio man

62' Egypt are now playing more attacking football and the risk of getting hit on the counter is high

64' Third substitution for Egypt...Mohamed Al-Gabbas replaces Meteb

66' Egypt are trying to move the ball forward but are always struggling to pose any threat on Diego Alves' goal

68' Brazil keep on passing short and Bradley doesn't look happy on the touchline

72' Egypt now have the possession for the first time in the game, but still cannot bother Diego Alves

73' Soliman, who scored against Qatar in a 2-1 defeat in Doha last year, shoots very high

73' A special moment for Egypt captain Ahmed Hassan, who makes his 178th international cap to equal the record of Claudio Suarez as the most capped player of all time

74' Abd-Rabou is out and Brazil make their first change as well, with Elias replacing Fernandinho

76' Another change as Shikabala makes way for Abdullah Al-Saied

78' Egypt have too many players in midfield now in an attempt to maintain possession, but still, the frontline is at bay

81' Goal hero Jonas is replaced by Kleber

82' Almost in for Hassan!...The veteran tries one from range and Diego Alves makes an awkward save to stop the bouncing ball

83' Hulk replies with a powerful shot that went slightly high...still looking for his maiden international goal

84' And he ain't going to get it today as he leaves the pitch for Dudu

85' Sixth change for Egypt...Ahmed Saied 'Ouka' replaces Wael Gomaa

86' Big chance for Brazil!...Kleber hits the post and Dudu with another header that looked in all the way, only for Al-Shennawi to produce a wonder save to deny him

88' Dudu again..a cheeky effort from the diminutive winger and Al-Shennawi with another fine stop at the near post

88' Thats a fairly-impressive game for the Egypt keeper...arguably the best performer for the African champs with some crucial saves today

90' Ouch...David Luiz is caught slapping Hegazi in an off-the-ball incident...nasty from the Chelsea man

91' Two minutes of time added on

92' The final whistle goes and its a fifth straight win for Brazil and a debut defeat for Bradley...nonetheless a good experience for Egypt
