Belgium 0 Egypt 1, March 30th 1999

Belgian officials pledged to stand by coach Georges Leekens after this latest defeat but the fans are not happy.

They booed the players off the field after this loss to the African champions. Egypt were the better side by far but threatened little after a fortunate goal in the 14th minute.

Ahmed Hassan ran in on goal and dropped the ball over goalkeeper Ronny Gaspercic who had advanced to meet him.

The home side never recovered and produced little to threaten Egyptian goalkeeper Nader El Sayed who plays in Belgium for Club Bruges.

Belgium have lost four games in a row as they prepare to co-host the Euro 2000 finals next summer and Leekens did not want to meet the press afterwards.
