“I’d say both are out,” Arnold said. “Both late arrivals. I think they arrived at 1am Wednesday morning. It was tough to take for them.”Keanu Baccus’ fifth-minute opener, while spectacular, appeared more accidental than divine, arriving when he forced a turnover and sent in a cross-cum-shot that drifted away from his teammates but, kissed by fortune, sailed over the head of keeper Mostafa Matar for his first senior international goal.
The best open-play chance of the second half fell to the visitors in the 82nd minute when Burgess’ attempt to recover his failed attempt to wrangle a pass from Souttar opened a cavern of space for Daniel Kuri and Mohamad Haidar to advance into before the former, having stolen the ball off the towering centre-back, crashed an effort off Maty Ryan’s post.
