Mohamed Salah saved Egypt from an embarrassing defeat in their opening Africa Cup of Nations game on Sunday as he converted a penalty seven minutes into injury time to snatch a 2-2 draw with Mozambique. The penalty was awarded following a VAR check by the referee for a foul on Mostafa Mohamed in the area at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in Abidjan, and Salah's strike denied Mozambique a historic first ever AFCON win. "It was a very, very difficult game. I was sad seeing my players devastated at the end because we deserved the win," said the Mozambique coach, Chiquinho Conde.
