Mohamed Salah struck at the death to hand Egypt the perfect start to their Africa Cup of Nations campaign as they came from behind to defeat Zimbabwe 2-1 in Agadir. The Pharaohs went behind to Prince Dube’s 20th-minute strike at the Stade Agadir, having dominated the early exchanges. The Warriors midfielder took the ball down beautifully in the Egyptian box before pirouetting and slotting beyond Mohamed El Shenawy. That goal came very much against the run of play, but Mario Marinica’s underdogs dug in and continued to assert themselves on one of the favourites for the tournament.
