Man of the match Ibrahim Adel has insisted the Pharaohs are eyeing a medal in Paris following the historic win over Spain.
Egypt has beat Spain 2-1 to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics as group C winners ahead of the European side, the Dominican Republic, and Uzbekistan.
Ibrahim Adel scored both goals while Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion scored a late consolation goal for the Spanish side.
Speaking after the game, Adel said: “We have not achieved anything yet. We are Egypt and we have the ability to do more.
“We are optimistic about winning a medal. All the team did their best in the game against Spain and I would not have scored without my teammates’ help.
The Winger finished by thanking the Egyptian fans for their backing and promised to do their best to achieve the dream of winning a medal.
