Mo Salah goal vs Mozambique (VIDEO)

In a dramatic turn of events, Mohamed Salah showcased his clutch capabilities by converting a crucial 95th-minute penalty, securing a hard-fought draw for Egypt in their AFCON opener.

The Pharaohs swiftly seized an early lead within two minutes, only to witness Mozambique, a team eagerly pursuing their inaugural AFCON victory, turn the tables with two rapid-fire goals just before the hour mark. The tension escalated at Stade Félix Houphouet Boigny, where an additional seven minutes were added to the clock. It was during this crucial juncture that Egypt was awarded a penalty following a meticulous VAR pitch-side review by the referee.

In a nail-biting moment, Egypt’s No. 11 confidently stepped up, delivering a powerful strike that found the back of the net, even grazing the post on its trajectory. While a draw may be perceived as a somewhat disappointing outcome for Egypt, salvaging a point proved to be a testament to Salah’s brilliance, as he exhibited composure and precision in converting the penalty during the dying moments of the match.

In the grand scheme of things, securing a point underscores the resilience of the Egyptian squad, and Salah’s last-minute heroics not only spared them the agony of defeat but also highlighted his prowess as a game-changer when the stakes are at their highest.
