Egypt assistant coach Osama Nabih says their attention is not on what happens in the Ghana-Congo game but rather thinking about their game against Uganda.
The Pharaohs who are in a comfortable lead after winning their opening two games will face Uganda on Thursday in Kampala.
After beating Ghana 2-0 in the second round of the 2018 African World Cup qualifiers and topping Group E with 6 points, coach Nabih feels they are only 20% on the way to winning the tournament's finals in Russia.
"Beating Congo and Ghana in the first and second rounds of the qualifications means that we've gone 20% down the road to the World Cup, because we still have [to face] Uganda," Nabih told a television programme late on Thursday.
Ghana are third in Group E, ranking on a solitary point. Their hopes of making a fourth successive World Cup appearance hang by a thread.
"We excluded Ghana from the competition but we have another opponent, Uganda, who have four points in the group," Nabih added.
The Pharaohs now lead the group with six points, two clear of Uganda who defeated pointless Congo 1-0 on Saturday.
