Thierry Henry's France looked to be heading for defeat in the semi-final in Lyon after Mahmoud Saber put Egypt ahead just after the hour mark. But Mateta, the Crystal Palace striker, levelled from Olise's assist with seven minutes of the 90 remaining. Egypt were reduced to 10 men at the start of extra time when centre-back Omar Fayed was sent off, and the hosts made their numerical superiority count as Mateta headed in.
