Egypt paid the price of some schoolboy defending to lose 4-2 to Ivory Coast in their second friendly this week
A thrilling night in Abu Dhabi saw the Pharaohs take the lead through Mohamed Abou-Treika, only for the Ivorians to reply back with a brace from Gervinho and a goal by Lacina Traore in between.
Geddo then pulled one back for Egypt, but Didier Ya Konan restored the Elephants’’ two-goal cushion near the end.
It is Egypt’s heaviest-ever defeat against Ivory Coast, four days after suffering another record loss to Ghana in the Emirate capital
