Egypt get 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau to keep qualification hopes alive
A goal from captain Mohamed Salah was all the Pharaohs of Egypt needed to beat Guinea-Bissau and keep hopes of qualifying alive.
Salah scored the all important goal in the 70th minute to get victory over Guinea-Bissau in their second round of the Africa Cup of Nations,Cameroon 2021.
The Pharaohs can still hope to advance to the next round as the third best team in the group, although they will not guarantee a direct passage to the knockout place.
The Pharaohs came into the game under pressure after losing to Nigeria (1-0) on the first matchday and they needed to beat Guinea-Bissau, who entered this round with a point.
Samba Baldé even reduced the deficit, but his goal was cancelled for an infringement.
Meanwhile, Egypt will close out the group stage against Sudan, while Guinea-Bissau will face already-qualified Nigeria.
