Marwan Ateya marked a special moment in his international career on Tuesday, scoring his first goal for the Egypt national team during the Pharaohs’ friendly against Botswana.
Ateya found the net in the first half with a calm finish from close range, putting Egypt in front as they controlled the early stages of the match.
The goal was also a clear first scoring contribution for the Al Ahly midfielder in an Egypt shirt, as he continues to take his chance with the national team setup.
Egypt went on to complete the match with a 2-0 win over Botswana, using the game as part of their preparations and giving minutes to several players.
