Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah missed a expensive penalty as Egypt misplaced by way of a shootout to Senegal of their 2022 World Cup qualifier – and he might really feel aggrieved after being distracted by laser pens from the gang.
Similar to final month’s Africa Cup Of Nations last, it was Salah’s Liverpool team-mate Sadio Mane that stepped as much as rating the decisive spot-kick. Senegal might be at Qatar later this 12 months at Egypt’s expense.
The African champions got here into their house second leg seeking to overturn a 1-0 deficit after dropping away in Egypt final week – with a strike from Salah to assist drive personal objective.
Simply as Egypt did within the first leg, Senegal scored within the opening couple of minutes – with an personal objective from Egypt midfielder Hamdi Fathi.
There have been no extra targets for the remainder of the evening, with all the things all sq. at 1-1 after additional time to drive a repeat of the penalty shootout within the African Cup of Nations last.
Salah appeared set to take Egypt’s fifth penalty on that event, however Senegal settled it earlier than he had an opportunity to step up. He wasn’t going to make that mistake once more – he took duty to take the Pharaohs’ first spot-kick.
Liverpool’s Egyptian King skied his penalty over the bar – after being confronted with a barrage of inexperienced lasers in his eyes.
The primary 4 penalties have been all missed – two apiece – however the hosts recovered to carry their nerve, as Mane in the end proved to be Senegal’s hero as soon as once more.
I imply, simply take a look at this. Salah sails his penalty over… and absolutely anyone would, given the lasers.
