The match came within the framework of Belgium's recent preparations for the World Cup, as it is in a group that includes Morocco, Canada and Croatia.
The Egyptian national team started with an attacking trio consisting of Mohamed Salah, Mustafa Mohamed and Mahmoud Trezeguet, and Mahmoud Hamada completed the midfield trio.
On the other hand, Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Michy Batshuayi led the Red Devils attack.
The Belgium national team began pressing hard in search of an early goal, taking advantage of Egypt's retreat to its defensive areas.
In the third minute, the Belgium players demanded that a penalty kick be awarded due to the presence of a handball on Ahmed Hegazy inside the penalty area.
After reviewing the video technology, the referee indicated that the Belgium players' claims were not valid.
And in the tenth minute, Batshuayi's shot was blocked by the crossbar, after a wonderful through ball from De Bruyne.
The response of the Egyptian national team came strong and quickly. In the 11th minute, Trezeguet hit a powerful ball from inside the penalty area, which Courtois brilliantly turned into a corner.
In the 21st minute, Elneny passed a wonderful through ball to Trezeguet, who was alone and hit a ground ball that Courtois turned away for a corner.
