[Now Sports]Egypt, the 7-time African Cup of Nations leader, had a bad start on Sunday. In the first game of this year’s Group B once morest underdog Mozambique, it was until stoppage time that Sana scored from 12 yards to equalize 2:2 and save one point in a thrilling manner. . Egypt, the last runner-up, was led by Mohamed Salah and had already broken the gap in the first two minutes. Although the star who plays for Liverpool shot into the air when receiving a pass from his teammates, the ball fell at the feet of center forward Mosdafen Mohamed, who turned around and scored the first goal of the season for the team.
However, the leading Egypt was unable to gain the upper hand. Mozambique repeatedly entered the penalty area to create threats. Although they might not equalize in the first half, 55 minutes following changing sides, Widinese received a header from a cross and the score was 1:1; 3. Minutes later, with another attack, Bao Jibu Dalixiong, who came on the reserve, pushed past his opponent and entered the penalty area with a single shot to score a 2:1 lead.
Egypt counterattacked in the remaining time, but the players’ condition has been mediocre, including Sana. The most threatening thing is Xandim Mamit who hit the post in the 77th minute. Fortunately, it lasted until 3 minutes of stoppage time. Egypt defender Hershey received a foul in the penalty area. The ball witness went to the sidelines through VAR to watch the slow motion penalty and awarded a 12-yard penalty. Sana made a false alarm and the ball bounced into the inside post. Two goals were awarded. The teams shook hands with each other at 2:2 in the end, and of course it was Egypt that lost its prestige.
