Omdurman match

The teams finished level on 13 points and level on all tiebreakers: goal difference in all group matches (+5); goals scored in all group matches (9); points in all Algeria–Egypt matches (3); and goal difference in all Algeria–Egypt matches (0). (The away goals rule was not used as a group-stage tiebreaker.[1]) The teams met in a one-game play-off to decide the qualifier. To determine the match venue, each team selected a country other than their own (Algeria selected Tunisia and Egypt selected Sudan). After Sudan was drawn in a lottery on 11 November,[2] the Al Merreikh Stadium in Omdurman was selected by FIFA as the venue for the play-off.

Reuters reported that 15,000 police were mobilised for the match.[3][4] Embassies advised their nationals to avoid the stadium area; government offices and schools closed early.[3] Scuffles leading to minor injuries were reported.[3]

On Monday 16 November, Al Jazeera reported that Algerian fans had stoned a bus carrying the Egyptian players from a training session, without causing injury.[5] The following day, Sudan President Omar al-Bashir hosted a function in the Presidential Palace in Khartoum, in which Algerian Football Federation head Mohamed Raouraoua snubbed his Egyptian counterpart Samir Zaher.[3][6]

Each team's fans were allocated 9,000 tickets,[4] with the stadium capacity reduced from 41,000 to 36,000; there were fears of ticketless fans congregating outside.[3] Although the countries' own blocks were strictly segregated,[7] many Algerian and Egyptian fans purchased tickets allocated to the home Sudanese.[8] Locals estimated the actual attendance at up to 50,000.[4]
