Salah scores late winner as Egypt come from behind to beat Zimbabwe

On Dec 22 in Agadir, Mohamed Salah scored a stoppage-time winner as Egypt national team came from behind to beat Zimbabwe national team 2-1 in their first Africa Cup of Nations finals fixture.
After intense early pressure, Prince Dube gave Zimbabwe national team the lead in the 20th minute from Emmanuel Jalai's pass, and Omar Marmoush levelled for Egypt national team in the 64th minute.
Egypt squandered openings, including Ahmed Zizo missing a back-post header from Mohamed Hamdy's cross and several efforts blocked before the break, while Mohamed El Shenawy gathered a late scramble.
The win gave Egypt national team three points, putting them level with South Africa national team atop Group B; they meet in Agadir on Boxing Day.
Salah, under scrutiny after club issues, started his first game since Nov. 26 as Egypt chase an eighth AFCON title that would yield the 33-year-old Liverpool forward his first win.
