A tough start! Mohamed Salah puts on a dazzling display against Zimbabwe, but no end product yet

Salah still has a whole half ahead of him to turn things around.

Details: In the opening match of the AFCON group B, all eyes are on Egypt’s 33-year-old winger Mohamed Salah as his side finds themselves surprisingly trailing Zimbabwe.

In the first half, Salah was one of Egypt’s main offensive threats, constantly putting pressure on the Zimbabwean defense. However, due to hesitant attacking play from his teammates, Salah was unable to find the back of the net.

Here’s how Salah performed in the first half:

• 4 key passes.
• 3 chances created.
• 2 successful dribbles.
• 2 crosses.
• 2 shots on target.
• 3 duels won.
• 100% accuracy on long passes.
• 0 assists.

The second half has just kicked off, and Egyptian fans are hoping for a dramatic comeback from their team to erase the deficit.
