Before getting stuck in, liverpool’s talisman was less than two minutes into his africa cup of nations campaign.
Salah was sent a cross from outside the area against mozambique, and despite completely miss-controlling the ball, he still got an assist. Salah swung his left boot at the ball, and it bobbled through his legs before landing at the feet of nantes striker mostafa mohamed, who fired home. Egypt should win by three points in group b, with the northeast african team finishing first, with mozambique 24th. Ghana and cape verde are also four-time champions in the tournament. Egypt is aiming for their first title since 2010, and first with salah as captain, according to the seven-time champions.
Liverpool has reached the final twice in 2017 and 2021, but has suffered heartbreak both times, most recently against sadio mane’s senegal. Salah has won three afcons in a row, scoring six goals and three assists in 17 games.
