Salah’s panenkazo to increase his legend and minutes for Hamza Abdelkarim
Mohamed Salah, 34, once again expanded his legend with the Egyptian team. The striker became the Pharaohs’ all-time top scorer by reaching 70 international goals and surpassing the 69 that Hossam Hassan, his former coach, had scored.
The former Liverpool attacker, now at Trabzonspor, was the protagonist in the Egyptian 5-0 win over Malawi. Salah scored the fourth goal of the match and, already in added time, closed the scoring with a Panenka-style penalty shot. A definition of a lot of personality to put the finishing touch to a historic night.
Hamza Abdelkarim, an 18-year-old striker from FC Barcelona, who had already participated in the previous squads and continues to accumulate experience with the Egyptian team, also had minutes at the top of the attack.
