Guinea-Bissau vs Egypt - LIVE!
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah got Egypt up and running in their AFCON meeting Guinea-Bissau on Saturday evening.
While Egypt largely dominated and improved on their opening performance against Nigeria, Salah’s excellent volley in the 69th minute proved more of a relief than anything.
Three times they hit the post and did appear to be suffering under a weight of anxiety, particularly given manager Carlos Queiroz had been heavily criticised by national media for his tactics against Nigeria. Before Salah struck, a number of players were guilty of misplacing passes as the weight of the pressure tolled.
Indeed, things could well have been worse had Mama Balde’s stunning equaliser stood. A rocket scored when cutting in from the right-hand side, VAR intervened and ruled it out for a foul in the build-up.
