Despite completely miss-controlling the ball, Salah’s touch turned into an assist. A cross from the wide area found Salah in the box, and as he swung his left boot at the ball, it awkwardly bobbled through his legs. However, the ball ended up at the feet of Mostafa Mohamed from Nantes, who calmly swept it into the net.
The match against Mozambique should be an easy victory for Egypt, as they are ranked fifth in the competition, while Mozambique is placed 24th. Group B also includes strong teams like Ghana and Cape Verde, making it an exciting group to watch.

Egypt, a record seven-time winner of the Africa Cup of Nations, is eager to secure their first title since 2010 with Salah leading as the captain. Despite reaching the final twice in 2017 and 2021, Salah faced disappointment both times, especially in the recent defeat against Sadio Mane’s Senegal.
