Mohamed Salah came to Egypt’s rescue with a 97th-minute penalty, salvaging a 2-2 draw against Mozambique in a Group B Africa Cup of Nations clash at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium. Salah’s penalty, awarded after a VAR check for a foul by Domingos Macandza, found the net off the post. Egypt took an early lead with Mostafa Mohamed’s goal in the second minute, but Mozambique capitalized on missed opportunities, scoring twice in three minutes through Witi and substitute Clesio Bauque in the second half. The draw denied Mozambique their first-ever AFCON win in their 13th appearance. Egypt now turns their attention to a second group fixture against Ghana on Thursday.
