Mo Salah peppered with lasers as Egypt crash out of World Cup qualifiers vs Senegal

Senegal have qualified for the 2022 World Cup on penalties after a tense clash with Egypt.

The two giants of African football slugged it out over two legs of a World Cup qualifier just weeks after they had contested one of the most nerve-shredding Africa Cup of Nations finals.

On that occasion, the match had to be decided via a penalty shootout with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane converting the winning spot-kick, while his club teammate, Mohamed Salah, never got the chance to take one.

So, you can just imagine how nervous the fans of each nation must have been when their clash to be decided by penalties all over again with the scores locked at 1-1 on aggregate after both legs.

And clearly Egypt wanted to learn from the mistakes of the tournament in Cameroon as they moved their star man up the penalty order to ensure that he would get his chance in the sun.

Plus, it looked as though the Ballon d’Or contender would have the chance to give the Pharaohs a real advantage in the contest with Kalidou Koulibaly smashing his penalty against the crossbar.

Instead, Salah produced arguably the worst penalty that we’ve ever seen from him, shovelling his penalty over the crossbar having shockingly been peppered with lasers while he lined the ball up.
