Mohamed Salah subject to racist abuse during World Cup play-off defeat to Senegal, claims Egypt FA

The two teams met in the second leg of the contest at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade in Diamniadio, Senegal - and it was the hosts who prevailed via a penalty shoot-out.

As had been the case in the Africa Cup of Nations final in February, Salah's Liverpool team-mate Sadio Mane scored the decisive spot-kick, securing Senegal's spot at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Salah missed his effort in the shoot-out, having been targeted with lasers from the crowd before taking his kick.
