Mohamed Salah's Egypt secure win in AFCON opener
Mohamed Salah's Egypt kicked off the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with a 1-0 win over Zimbabwe on Friday night.
The Liverpool forward played the entirety of the tournament opener that was settled by Mahmoud Hassan's 41st-minute strike.
Salah was close to making it 2-0 for the host nation, but was denied by a fine save from Elvis Chipezeze towards the end of the affair in Cairo.
The Pharaohs are next in action on Wednesday evening when they play DR Congo.
