Egypt U23s have finished top of their group after beating Spain U23s. It was an unexpected turn of events 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, taking Rogerio Micale's side closer to their goal of winning a first-ever football medal. Egypt booked their place at Paris 2024 by finishing runners-up at the 2023 African U23 Championship. They also reached the quarter-finals at the Tokyo Olympics, losing to Brazil. This time around, they have the chance to make history again, and Paraguay are the perfect opponents. Paraguay U23s suffered a 5-0 defeat in their opening Olympic match against Japan. But they showed great character, 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 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 U23 Egypt: Alaa; Fayed, Abdelmeguid, Eid, El-Debes; Elneny; Shehata, Kouka; Sayed, Faisal, Adel U23 Paraguay: R. Fernandez; Rivas, De Jesus, Balbuena, Nunez; M. Fernandez, M. Gomez, D. Gomez, Caballero; Enciso, PerezLaodong.vn
