Mohamed Salah saves Egypt against Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau 0-1 Egypt

Goal: Salah (69e
) for the Pharaohs

Salah, the real Dial-Up.

Egypt pulled away this Saturday evening in Garoua against Guinea-Bissau (1-0) and qualified for the same blow for round of 16, almost already securing second place in group D. It was time for redemption for the Pharaohs, after their disturbing inaugural outing against Nigeria. Numerically, the account is good. But for the way, we will come back. During the first twenty rhythmic minutes, Carlos Queiroz’s men twice found the left post of Jonas Mendes on shots placed by Mohamed Salah (2 e<sup>), then Mostafa Mohamed (18e), came close to making fruit the superb control in portmanteau of Omar Marmoush.

Egypt then collected the corners, and the white waves broke, but Guinea-Bissau oscillated between saving interventions from their centrals or of his doorman and leaves luck. Despite a less good period in the second act, Amr El Solia alerted Mohamed Salah to a bell-shaped balloon: the Scouser, the only world-class player on his team, was content to frame his volley to score (0-1, 69e). Finally, after his third post of the match through Zizo (75 e
), Egypt trembled with all his being when ESTAC player Mama Baldé chained small bridge, outside hook and healthy ganache small opposite net (82e). Flat for the Djurtus, the VAR canceled Bissau-Guinean joy for a charge from Baldé on the shoulder of Omar Kamal.</sup>

A half-volley by Moreto Cassamá, saved by El-Shenawy (90e

+4), served as a final reminder: Egypt is still very, very far from the mark.
