The victory over Argentina extended France's under-23 side's unbeaten streak to 10 matches, a run which includes eight wins with six of those coming to nil.

Les Bleus are yet to concede a goal in the tournament, keeping four clean sheets in a row, while they have scored seven times.

France are aiming to reach the final for the first time since the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, when they took home gold after overcoming Brazil. They had beaten Egypt 2-0 in the quarter-finals that year, their sole previous meeting at the Olympics.

Egypt surprisingly topped Group C ahead of Spain, but they needed an 88th-minute equaliser to save themselves from a quarter-final exit against Paraguay.

The Pharaohs won 5-4 on penalties to progress to the semi-finals for the second time, having previously reached this stage in 1964 in Tokyo.
