Salah’s brace puts his Egyptian-record tally at 70

Two of Salah’s goals came at the end of Egypt’s 5-0 win over Malawi in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Cairo: a header for the fourth in the 84th minute, then a penalty for the fifth in second-half stoppage time. The brace moved his total in Egyptian records to 70, past Hossam Hassan’s 69. Stats Foot’s African international scoring list uses that 70-goal tally to place Salah third, behind Godfrey Chitalu on 79 and Kinnah Phiri on 71. Those two goals shifted his standing at home and put him among Africa’s top three.
