Mohamed Salah continued his impressive form for Egypt as he scored to give the Pharaohs a 2-1 lead against New Zealand in their international friendly.
The Liverpool forward has been in stunning form for both club and country, and his latest goal has taken his tally for Egypt to 45. This puts him just two goals shy of the all-time record held by Hossam Hassan.
Egypt's manager, Carlos Queiroz, was full of praise for Salah after the match, saying: 'Mo is a phenomenal player. He's always looking to improve and his work rate is incredible.'
Salah's goal was his second for Egypt in the match, with the forward scoring from the penalty spot in the 65th minute. The Pharaohs held on for a narrow 2-1 win, with New Zealand pushing hard for an equaliser in the final minutes.
The result means Egypt have now won three consecutive matches under Queiroz's management, with the team looking strong ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
Salah's goal was met with delight from the Egyptian fans, who were in attendance in large numbers at the venue. The Liverpool forward has been a key player for Egypt in recent years, and his form has been a major factor in the team's success.
The match marked a return to action for Egypt after a two-year absence from international competition. The team's next fixture is set to take place in March, with details yet to be confirmed.
