Javier Aguirre: Egypt's tactical training worked against Tanzania

Javier Aguirre has lauded his Egypt side after their 1-0 victory over Tanzania on Thursday night.

An Ahmed Elmohamady header in the 64th minute secured the hosts a laboured win over the East African nation in their pre-Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) friendly at the Borg El-Arab Stadium.

Despite their slender victory over Taifa Stars, the experienced manager praised the effort of his team and pointed to the game’s only goal which came from their plan to utilize crosses.

"Egypt’s national team players introduced a good game against Tanzania," Aguirre began.
