Guinea-Bissau 0-1 Egypt | Salah Saves the day! VIDEO
Mo Salah scored the winner against Guinea-Bissau from a left-footed volley nine minutes past the hour mark as the Pharaohs bounced in the AFCON after losing 1-0 to Nigeria a few days ago.
“I am happy with the victory but I know that our performance has not been good today and in the past game; I hope we can improve,” Salah told beIN sport after the game.
“We are facing a lot of challenges and all the African teams have now become strong as they have a lot of players in Europe. We may be one of the least teams with players playing in Europe.”
[xyz-ihs snippet=”In-article-Ad”]Despite boasting the likes of Salah, Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny and Stuttgart’s Omar Marmoush, the record seven-time African champions are yet to live up to expectations at the Nations Cup.
Salah, who won the man of the match award, ended a seven-match goal drought with Egypt to grab his 44th international goal in 75 games.
