A flop. Mohamed Salah failed to produce any dangerous actions against Senegal
In the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final, Senegal faced Egypt and secured a 1–0 victory. The winning goal was scored by Mané, while his rival Mohamed Salah endured a disastrous match.
Details: Salah played the full 90 minutes but was unable to create a single chance. He did not attempt a single shot, either on target or off target. He lost possession 14 times and completed just nine passes. A poor performance from the leader and captain of Egypt.

Reminder: In the 40th minute, Mohamed Salah committed a foul on Sadio Mané, and the reaction from the players and coaching staff was immediate.
