All set at Lusail! The referees lead the players out as the Pharaohs and Al-Azraq step onto the pitch for the pre-match ceremony. It’s Matchday 1 in Group C, and the atmosphere is building beautifully for this Arab Cup opener.

It's been 20 minutes since the match started and no team has been able to score yet. Egypt have looked more in control and have had the ball in their possession for the majority of the time but haven't been able to convert into a goal.

Egypt continue to pin Kuwait inside their own half, but Al-Azraq’s defensive shape has been impressive. They’re closing down every lane, denying the Pharaohs any easy openings. It’s a cautious, protective approach from Kuwait, but so far it’s working, still 0-0 at Lusail.

First booking of the match as Ghanam Mohammed goes into the book for a foul in his own half. From the resulting free kick, Mohammed Dahan goes for goal, but his effort flies over.

The opening 45 ends goalless. Egypt controlled the tempo and carved out several chances, but the finishing touch just wasn’t there. Kuwait held firm, defended with discipline, and head into the break at 0-0.

The second half gets underway at Lusail Stadium, and the atmosphere has lifted again. Fans from both sides are hoping for a more open, thrilling half, with someone finally breaking the deadlock.

Kuwait have flipped the script. They’re breaking up Egypt’s rhythm with repeated midfield fouls, and the frustration is growing. Egyptian players are urging the referee to clamp down with more bookings.

Al-Hajeri rises brilliantly and powers a stunning header into the top corner! Mohammad Daham delivers a perfect ball from the corner, and Kuwait take a shock 1–0 lead at Lusail.

Big chance wasted for Kuwait. A swift counterattack opens up the box, but Mohammad Daham can’t finish off the low cross, and the Egypt keeper smothers it safely.

Magdy Afsha finally levels it! His right-footed strike is pushed away at first, but the power behind it carries the ball into the left side of the net. The Pharaohs are back at 1–1.

Egypt rescue a late equalizer to finish 1–1 after dominating large stretches of the match. Kuwait hold firm and walk away with their first point of the tournament.

Kuwait nearly snatched the lead again in stoppage time when Daham found space for a close-range strike, but Bassam stepped up with another vital block to keep the scores level.

Despite Egypt piling on late pressure, Kuwait stayed disciplined and held their ground to earn a well-deserved point.
