Like Osimhen, Salah keeps Egypt unbeaten whenever he scores at AFCON
Egypt are leaning heavily on the brilliance of Mohamed Salah as they chase a place in the Africa Cup of Nations final, with the Liverpool forward proving to be their talisman once again.
Just like Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, who has never lost an AFCON match in which he has scored or assisted, Salah’s presence has been decisive for the Pharaohs. Egypt have not lost any AFCON game in which he has found the net, winning nine and drawing two.
Salah’s record at the continental showpiece is already historic. He has scored 11 AFCON goals, the joint-second most for Egypt, and his current tally of four strikes at this edition is his highest at a single tournament.
With five goal contributions overall, he has been at the heart of Egypt’s attacking play, driving them closer to a record 10th final appearance.
Yet one challenge remains elusive. Despite his dominance on the African stage, Salah has faced Senegal five times without scoring, managing only one win, one draw and suffering three defeats. That statistic adds intrigue to Egypt’s campaign as they continue their push for glory.
For all his achievements, Salah is still searching for his first AFCON title. With Egypt’s unbeaten streak intact whenever he scores, and his form at its peak, the Pharaohs are banking on their captain’s magic to finally deliver the continental crown he has long desired.
