Despite a solid performance, Egypt was defeated by Olympic hosts, France, in the match that took place at Stade de Lyon&nbsp;in the semi-finals of the&nbsp;men&rsquo;s soccer tournament.&nbsp;
After an excellent first half, the Egyptian team took the lead with a goal by&nbsp;Mahmoud Saber in the 61st minute of the match, and Egypt maintained the upper hand till&nbsp;Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the equalizer for France at the last 8 minutes of the match, extending it to extra-time.&nbsp;
France's second goal was also scored by Mateta in the 99th minute after Egypt's defender Omar Fayed was sent off in the 92nd minute after receiving two yellow cards.&nbsp;
