| Egypt scored their greatest ever victory with a thoroughly deserved
1-0 win on Thursday over world champions Italy who had never previously
lost to an African team.
The shock result means Group B in the Confederations Cup hangs
in the balance with all four teams still able to progress to next
week's semi-finals.
Mohamed Hommos's goal five minutes before halftime clinched the
first points of the tournament for the African champions, who
narrowly lost 4-3 to Brazil in their opening game.
Most of the Egyptians and coach Hassan Shehata shed tears of
joy at the final whistle as they became the first African side
in 15 attempts to beat the Italians.
