Mohamed Salah's Egypt face a must-win final game in Group B of the Africa Cup of Nationson Monday against a Cape Verde side who have already qualified for the last-16.
The Blue Sharks have been the biggest surprise package of the tournament so far, and have already secured progression to the next stage as group winners after beating AFCON giants Ghana and Mozambique.
The Pharaohs, meanwhile, have only managed to earn two points from their opening two games and need a result to at least qualify as the best third-placed side, having made it to the final in two of the past three editions of the continental tournament.
