Egypt booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after a convincing 3-1 win, with captain Mohamed Salah once again proving decisive on the continental stage. The victory keeps Egypt firmly on course in their quest to reclaim African glory.
Egypt Show Experience When It Matters
The Pharaohs approached the knockout tie with composure and authority, controlling large spells of possession and dictating the tempo. After a cagey opening, Egypt’s patience paid off as their attacking quality eventually broke through a resilient opposition.

Salah’s leadership was evident throughout the match, not only in attack but also in how he marshalled the team during key moments. His presence lifted the entire side, especially when the game threatened to swing.
Salah’s Impact Seals Progress
Wearing the captain’s armband, Salah delivered when Egypt needed him most. His influence in the final third proved decisive, as he either created or finished crucial chances that shifted momentum firmly in Egypt’s favour. The goals reflected Egypt’s superior movement, sharper finishing, and tournament know-how.
Despite conceding once, Egypt responded professionally, tightening defensively and punishing mistakes with ruthless efficiency to close out the match 3-1.

AFCON Knockout Pedigree on Display
This result underlined Egypt’s reputation as one of the most successful nations in Africa Cup of Nations history. Their ability to manage knockout football—balancing control, discipline, and moments of individual brilliance—was clear throughout the contest.
The Pharaohs’ defensive organisation improved as the match wore on, limiting clear chances and ensuring their route to the quarter-finals was never truly in doubt.
Tough Test Awaits in the Quarter-Finals
Egypt will now turn their focus to a mouth-watering quarter-final clash against either Ivory Coast or Burkina Faso. Both potential opponents pose unique challenges, but Egypt’s blend of experience and star quality gives them confidence heading into the weekend showdown.
Can Egypt Go All the Way?
With Salah leading from the front and the squad growing stronger with each game, belief is rising among Egyptian fans. If the Pharaohs maintain this level of performance, they remain serious contenders to lift the AFCON trophy once again.
Final Score: Egypt 3-1
