Egypt moved closer to reaching the semi-finals of the Confederation Cup after a famous 1-0 win over Italy, the world champions. After the match, many Egyptians took to the streets loudly beeping their car horns at midnight. Streets became crowded after traffic was light during the match. Young men were seen hanging from the windows of moving cars, cheering and waving Egyptian flags.
Twitter was almost as crowded as the Egyptian streets, but this time there were tweets during the match as well as after it.  The tweets started to pour in after Egypt's first goal against Italy:
Non Egyptians and for sure Italians were there to comment on the match also.
The tweets related to the match were sufficient to bring Egypt as one of the main topics on twitter.
During the last few minutes of the match, all the Egyptians fans were not able to wait for the referee's whistle.
And finally the referee's whistle caused a real flood of tweets.
