Egypt U23s have finished top of their group after beating Spain U23s. It was an unexpected result as they started the tournament with a disappointing 0-0 draw against the Dominican Republic. After responding with a 1-0 win over Uzbekistan, it will be their second consecutive win, bringing Rogerio Micale's side closer to their goal of winning a first football medal in the country's history. Egypt booked their place at Paris 2024 by finishing as runners-up in the 2023 African U23 Championship. They also reached the quarter-finals at the Tokyo Olympics but lost to Brazil. This time they once again have the chance to make a miracle and Paraguay are the perfect opponent. Paraguay U23s suffered a 0-5 defeat in their opening Olympic match against Japan. But they showed great character by beating Israel 4-2 and winning 1-0 against Mali. As a result, Paraguay reached the quarter-finals for the first time since Athens 2004, where they reached the final. Veteran coach Carlos Jara Saguier led the national team to silver medals at that time, and the 73-year-old was appointed to lead the U23 team to the Olympics after two decades. Although not much of a buzz in world football, Paraguay U23 still deserves respect for their bravery in a difficult group. Expected lineup of Egypt U23: Alaa; Fayed, Abdelmeguid, Eid, El-Debes; Elneny; Shehata, Kouka; Sayed, Faisal, Adel Paraguay U23: R. Fernandez; Rivas, De Jesus, Balbuena, Nunez; M. Fernandez, M. Gomez, D. Gomez, Caballero; Enciso, PerezLaodong.vn
