Egypt sorely missed injured captain Mohamed Salah as they slumped to a shock 0-2 defeat by Ethiopia on Thursday in 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying. A strain ruled out the prolific Liverpool scorer after he defied his club last Sunday and played in a victory over Guinea despite not being fully fit. Egypt lacked several other injured first choices, but were still expected to secure maximum Group D points in neutral Malawi against opponents 108 places lower in the world rankings. But the quick Ethiopian forwards repeatedly troubled a slow Egyptian defence in the opening half and goals from Dawa Hotessa and captain Shemeles Bekele gave them a two-goal half-time advantage.
Portugal scored twice in five minutes to beat the Czech Republic on Thursday and open up a two-point lead at the top of Group A2 in the Nations League.

Victory means they sit two points clear of Spain, having won two and drawn one of their opening three games.

There is no more desired sensation in soccer than a goal. It can be said that the ball exists for that, to be embedded in the goal. If we add to this the fact of scoring a goal in the most important tournament of this sport, that is, the FIFA World Cup, the experience borders on the sublime.
