Egypt secured an emphatic 4-0 victory over Botswana on Tuesday, with Liverpool star Mohamed Salah adding to his already impressive form this season by scoring one of the easiest goals he’ll likely net all year.
The win pushes Egypt to the top of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group, having triumphed in both of their opening matches. The team’s performance was especially commendable away from home, where they looked dominant throughout the match.
Salah, captaining the national side, found himself on the scoresheet once again, bagging Egypt’s third goal in routine fashion. The winger had little work to do, tapping the ball in from close range, only a yard out from the goal line. Though it may not go down as a highlight reel moment, Salah will undoubtedly be pleased to continue his remarkable start to the 2024/25 campaign.
At club level, Salah has been just as prolific, scoring in all three of Liverpool’s opening Premier League fixtures. His early-season form suggests he’s on track for another outstanding year at Anfield, potentially adding to his long list of accomplishments in the red shirt.
Egypt’s solid performances in their opening qualifiers provide a promising foundation as they aim to secure a spot in the Africa Cup of Nations. Salah’s leadership and consistent goal-scoring form will be crucial to their efforts in both the group stage and beyond.
The goal, while simple, underscores Salah’s instinct for being in the right place at the right time. As Liverpool fans know well, his ability to consistently find the back of the net, whether for club or country, is what makes him one of the most reliable forwards in the game today.
In what could prove to be another banner season for the Egyptian forward, his international and domestic performances continue to highlight his importance on both stages. As the campaign unfolds, all eyes will be on Salah to see if he can sustain this extraordinary run of form.
