A Mohamed Salah late penalty helped Pharaohs of Egypt earned a 2-2 draw against Mozambique in Group B at the AFCON 2023 on Sunday.
Mozambique were on the verge of creating one of the upsets in AFCON history before Salah’s penalty made sure both teams shared the spoils.
Egypt got off to a very good start as Mostafa Mohamed got on the score sheet.

But in the 97th minute Salah converted from the penalty spot to deny Mozambique a shock win.
Up next for Egypt is a tough clash with Ghana’s Black Stars on Thursday, 18 January.
The Black Stars will get their campaign off against Cape Verde later on Sunday.

Where are all those that were hailing the Egyptians ??? Nigerians and inferiority complex are 5 & 6. Currently Ghana is losing 0-1 to Cape Verde.
Your mentality is too low you’re using another teams draw to encourage the nonsense result we earned today. Carry on go and make a feast because Egypt or any other drew as well.
When the team is knocked out I wonder what you will be saying. Unfortunately, the players also share same mentality with you. Nigerian football is a reflection of our society and it’s on a downward spiral
@Emecco our arrogant too much. There are more minnows in Africa again. It’s even hard to play these minnows than big boys because they have cohesion working for them. Egypt was lucky to have a draw , Ghana too will be lucky to pull a draw in this match.
