Senegal fans resorted to dirty tactics in a bid to give their country the upper hand during the crunch World Cup play-off clash versus Egypt on Tuesday - by targeting opposing players with a shower of laser beams.
Mohamed Salah was just one of the Egyptian stars on the receiving end of the harassment as a host of green lasers were pointed in his face at various points throughout the fixture. Goalkeeper Mohammed El Shenawy was also a prime target for Senegal fans, who furiously shone their lasers when he was faced with a free-kick or for each penalty in the crucial shootout.
Hamdi Fathi's own goal after just four minutes put Senegal in front on the night and levelled the score on aggregate after Egypt had taken a one-goal lead into the second leg at the Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade in Diamniadio. The score stayed that way until after extra time, with the sides then forced into another shootout just months after experiencing the same scenario in the Africa Cup of Nations final.
