Having been dealt a cold shower, the Belgian stars quickly surged forward in attack, increasing pressure on the opponent's half. However, they were met with a focused and disciplined Egyptian defense.

Despite having more possession, the attacking options of coach Rudi Garcia's team were quite monotonous. They struggled with group coordination and created almost no truly dangerous opportunities towards the opponent's goal, even though they had 8 shots on goal.

The first half ended with Egypt leading 1-0.
