Egypt 1-0 Zimbabwe: 5 Hits and Flops | Africa Cup of Nations 2019

#4 Flop- Mohamed Salah

Salah looked tired towards the end of second-half

It is quite harsh to label Mohamed Salah's lively performance as a flop- probably being the victim of his own success.

The Egyptian started the game in a vibrant fashion which got the 80,000 supporters buzzing off their seats. He forced the opposing keeper into numerous saves and clearances during the starting period as he won the corner in the second minute.

After a spell of 20-25 minutes, the Zimbabwe team settled into a solid formation and provided very little space to work with. Salah's mazy run which included a series of intricate passes was the only highlight of his game which forced Sibanda to make a remarkable save.

Mohamed Salah looked tired in the second half- probably because of the hot weather and a tiring club season for Liverpool. His passes lacked the energy and his final decisions suffered because of it.
