Mohamed Salah made it 3-1 for Egypt against Ivory Coast with close range finish in Agadir.

Egypt regained full control of their AFCON 2025 quarter final after Mohamed Salah struck early in second half to restore two goal advantage against Ivory Coast at Agadir Grand Stadium.

The decisive moment arrived in the 52 minute. Egypt broke forward with purpose and the move ended with Emam Ashour providing the final pass setting Salah up in dangerous central position inside the area.

Salah did the rest. The Liverpool forward hit left footed shot from the centre of the box guiding it into the bottom left corner beyond goalkeeper Yahia Fofana to push the score to 3-1.
