Mohamed Salah etched his name into Egyptian football history by breaking the country’s all-time scoring record in their 5-0 thrashing of Malawi in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The 34-year-old former Liverpool star scored twice, including a far-post header in the 84th minute and from a penalty five minutes into added time.

The win marked a dominant performance by Egypt, who took an early lead through a goal in the 10th minute. Salah’s second goal sealed his place as Egypt’s leading scorer with 70 goals, surpassing Hossam Hassan’s record.
