According to CAF, the entire Egyptian delegation passed through the mixed zone without stopping to answer questions - and that is a breach of the rules of the tournament.

CAF warns Egypt that if the situation repeats itself, there will be tougher consequences.

Later on Friday, Egypt will their second AFCON tie against South Africa.
