00:15Quite a burst in him. Here's Mo Salah. His touch is greeted with a roar.
00:22And for those of you who don't know, Mohamed Salah is very much a left-footed player.
00:32Salah, one-touch pass, and the curl is difficult to anticipate, difficult to read from Malawi's defenders.
00:39Here they come. Here's Salah. Oh, he's going to serve his teammate Trzeguet.
00:44And his shot flashes wide of the post, but oh so near to pierce the armor of Malawi's defense.
00:53That's the first real encourage and the first glimpse of Ali Maher.
00:59Well, that's to be his brand of football. Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be such a fast ride.
01:12Malawi were...
01:14Here's Nasser Maher. Plays off of Trzeguet. Spreads it out to Salah.
01:19He's going to get onto his left foot, isn't he? He's going to use overlap of Lahani.
01:22Cutts it back. The opener for Egypt comes at the fifth minute.
01:26And it's Nasser Maher.
01:30Ali Maher opens his...
01:35His tenure with Egypt with a near-perfect start.
01:45The Cairo International Stadium erupts with joy.
01:49And they're seeing beautiful displays of football.
01:57Mohamed Salah perhaps thought...
02:00Everyone thought he was perhaps going to go for a goal,
02:01but instead plays the generous overlapping pass of Mohamed Hani,
02:05who timed his run to perfection.
02:07Cut it back with a low cross.
02:09There was plenty of legs in the midst.
02:12And Nasser Maher scores the first goal
02:16and is embraced by his head coach.
02:24What a moment for Nasser Maher,
02:27who unlocked high foot.
02:30Stays very much concentrated.
02:32He's looking for Salah.
02:34Can he keep the ball in play?
02:35He does!
02:36He's brought down.
02:39But in the end, the referee, Abdelaziz Bou,
02:42points to the six-yard box,
02:45indicating a goal kick.
02:54Scoring the first winning goal in a World Cup for Egypt.
02:58And now,
03:01he's going to be on the hunt
03:03for that elusive 69th goal.
03:08That would put him level.
03:10He checked his run.
03:12He's onside.
03:14Salah.
03:15He loves these positions, doesn't he, Mohamed Salah?
03:18He's closed down just before he can pull the trigger,
03:20and he tries to spin and pirouette to shoot.
03:24But it's snuffed.
03:28playing with a real spring.
03:30Will Egypt punish Malawi for their ambitions on the counterattack?
03:37Salah.
03:39Marmouche.
03:40Marmouche.
03:40Marmouche, Trezeguet, the target.
03:42He was well-ushered.
03:44And that's mishit the clearance.
03:46Where to find Salah?
03:48Where Salah knew where to find Maher?
03:52Oh, that's it.
03:53The header from Marmouche is caught.
03:56Oh, that's not well done by the midfielder of Malawi.
04:01And for that, Egypt might be able to strike Trezeguet.
04:09Not on the right wavelength.
04:11Not in the right tempo.
04:12So, it's a shame there does seem to be a clear disjoint
04:17between the midfield and the attack of Egypt.
04:21It means that the forwards are having to take on
04:24so many of Malawi's players on their own.
04:30Salah drops his shoulder.
04:32Escapes the press.
04:33Uses the outside of his foot.
04:35Almost a delicious pass.
04:41Ali Maher era.
04:46Luminary pass.
04:48Hane's cross.
04:49Oh, goes through everyone.
04:51It's not over just yet.
04:53Clipped in.
04:55Hane thinks about the volley.
04:57Does take it.
04:57What a goal!
05:01Do not blink!
05:05Mohamed Hane has scored something from the top drawer!
05:15The crowd on its feet.
05:17They've witnessed something truly special.
05:23The technique is second to none.
05:27The power of a rocket!
05:32And for that, the goalkeeper of Malawi,
05:35even if there were two of them,
05:37he could not do anything as Kaliso Passua looks helplessly.
05:41The quality, the class of Hane.
05:46That's a love letter to football.
05:49Signed, sealed, and delivered.
05:52He knew exactly what he was doing.
05:56There is no luck in that.
06:00Plenty of purpose.
06:01Plenty of purchase.
06:02And the Faro's go clear.
06:08Oh, it's helped into his direction.
06:11It falls kindly.
06:12Nixon Yasulu heads it out of the court,
06:16of the penalty box.
06:18And Hane with a just amazing goal.
06:21The curl.
06:23Balls in, I believe it was 60 matches.
06:26Here's Mohamed Salah, the former Liverpool legend.
06:29He loves to wear red with Egypt's red.
06:31Can he score?
06:31He gets an assist?
06:32No!
06:33Nearly!
06:35It was Ahmed Zizou.
06:38They've already offered a fine spectacle in the first half.
06:41Here's Salah on the quest for his 69th goal for country.
06:4513.30.
06:50Salah plays it to Zizou.
06:52Zizou gives it back to Salah.
06:57Battling inside the box.
06:59Perhaps hunting for a penalty, Mohamed Salah,
07:01but doesn't get it.
07:03Malawi.
07:03But he's served.
07:06Salah to Marmouj.
07:08He can shoot from far.
07:10Trezeguet.
07:11Trezeguet for goal.
07:14It's all a bit scrappy now.
07:16The pass on the feet of Salah who goes for goal,
07:18and it's not powerful enough.
07:25It's a simple save.
07:30For Chikuka.
07:32Adepoju.
07:33What a client he is.
07:39He's been good, Lachine,
07:40in recovering the ball high.
07:42Fatou stays up.
07:44He tries to replicate the feet of Hani
07:46in a much closer...
07:48Trezeguet wants to find Salah,
07:50who's given a bit of space.
07:52tries to laser a pass towards a darting run.
07:56The previous international window.
07:59Salah is released.
08:02Salah one-on-one with the defender.
08:04Salah!
08:04Use the toe poke to try to...
08:08pierce his way through, but...
08:12That was good defending from Nixon Young.
08:16And they are looking to re-establish themselves
08:19at the top of African football.
08:22This could be the shot of Atiyah.
08:24Similar to Zizou's.
08:27Salah snatched at the rebound.
08:29Cajuns.
08:33Deserves an assist,
08:34but Chikuka
08:37has been fantastic.
08:39That's one for the pictures.
08:41Much to the delight
08:43of the fans.
08:46Adele.
08:46That's a beautiful clip.
08:48That's it!
08:48Salah has done it!
08:50It's a perfect night!
08:52The Pharoahs have found their ultimate hero
08:57to score the 69th goal
09:00in international competition.
09:07The second half
09:09wasn't the shiniest,
09:12but he won't mind.
09:13Mohamed Salah
09:16etches his name a little bit more
09:18in the history books.
09:19Who knew it would be possible?
09:23He has now tied the record
09:25of Hossem Hassan.
09:27Ibrahim Adele
09:28with a visionary pass.
09:33The inventiveness
09:35of Nikola Tesla
09:36from Adele.
09:40And then it's just
09:41a gentle caress
09:43with the header
09:44by Salah
09:45towards the back post.
09:47Nothing the keeper could do.
09:48He beats the offside trap.
09:51He's in motion.
09:53And the number 10 for Egypt.
09:57Yes, he does.
09:58Back heel.
09:58The crowd love it.
10:00Hassan.
10:03Hassan back to Salah.
10:04What can he do?
10:06The little genius, Salah!
10:09Oh, he just thinks differently.
10:13Oh, he's ready to catch defenders
10:15off guard.
10:19Tonight,
10:21Haysom Hassan
10:24has all the intensity,
10:25explosiveness.
10:27Mohamed Salah,
10:27he's not dispossessed just yet.
10:29Is there an offside?
10:30Is there a penalty even?
10:31There is.
10:34Penalty
10:34in the dying embers
10:36of this match.
10:39And Mohamed Salah
10:41from the penalty spot.
10:44The run-up.
10:45Mohamed Salah,
10:47the chip.
10:48It is perfect.
10:50Goal number 70.
10:53We are looking at the top goal scorer
10:57in Egyptian football history.
11:05And the entire bench
11:07comes to celebrate
11:09their pharaoh.
11:15A living legend
11:17at work.
11:19The chip.
11:20The panenka.
11:21Sending the keeper
11:22in the wrong direction.
11:24To have that cool-mindedness
11:26at this stage of the match.
11:34Ice in his veins.
11:36Composure.
11:38Technical brilliance.
11:40But how can you be surprised
11:42by Mohamed Salah?
