Decidedly, Senegal does not succeed in the Egyptian selection in this year 2021. Already beaten in the final of the African Cup of Nations, Egypt once more suffered a cruel setback on Wednesday evening, being once once more defeated on penalties. to goal. Result: the Pharaohs are not qualified for the next World Cup, it is the Senegalese who will go to Qatar at the end of the year.
In this meeting, Senegal had managed, via Boulaye Dia from the 3rd minute of play, to catch up with a goal conceded during the first leg. Extra time did not tip the scales, so the award fell during the fateful penalty shootout.
In this little game, it was the Senegalese who proved to be the most skilful or, at least, the least clumsy. But it must be said that their public helped them a lot. Indeed, the Egyptian star Mo Salah missed the conversion of the first shot on goal but on the images, we can see that the attacker was the target of lasers which might strongly blind him. He will end up shooting… above the cages!
His teammates Zizo and Mostafa Mohamed did not fare any better and in the end, Senegal won the session 3-1.
But the nightmare was not over for Mo Salah since when he returned to the locker room, he was the target of many projectiles launched from the stands. The Egyptian had to be escorted to avoid picking up the debris on him as much as possible.
The Egyptian federation reacted and denounced the facts. She added that from the warm-up, her players had to face the beams of lasers coming from the public and that these were also treated as racists. The selection bus was also stoned when it arrived at the stadium.
