Hossam Ghobran, Mohamed Adel and Amr El-Hady put them in control in the first half before Amr Ibrahim made it 4-0 on 34 minutes.

Dylan Finch grabbed a consolation for Namibia before Ahmed El-Neggar scored twice to complete the rout.

Joining them at the top of the table on nine points are South Africa, who cruised to a 9-1 win against Ghana.

Austin Smith grabbed four goals as the hosts moved to the top of the table on goal difference, having scored 21 goals in their opening three matches.

The hosts' women's team maintained their unbeaten start with a 5-0 win against Namibia to sit top of the group with two wins from two matches.
