Last night, in Cairo, Egypt's football team scored a second goal against Algeria five minutes into injury time.

That means Egypt won the match two:nil, which means both teams finished level on points and goal difference at the top of their World Cup qualifying group.

If Egypt hadn't scored that second goal, their 2010 World Cup dreams would have been over.

Now Egypt and Algeria will have to meet again, next Wednesday, to decide who goes to South Africa and this time they'll be playing on neutral ground, in Khartoum.

Fred Dove spoke to our reporter in Cairo, Ranyah Sabry, and asked her first about the mood in Cairo.
