Egypt afcon - Salah leads Egypt to the AFCON 2021 semifinals

The hosts regained the dominance and Karl Toko Ekambi was almost the hero when he flicked a cross towards goal and Gabaski did well to get down and save it.

Another 1-0 win against Sudan, courtesy of a header, saw Egypt secure second place in their group with six points, behind Nigeria, who were the only team across all six groups to win all three group matches.

Playing his club soccer for Olympique Marseille, Deing has scored four goals in Ligue 1 and could be a key figure for Senegal as the Egypt defense keys in on Mane.

Egypt will now face hosts Cameroon in the last four on Thursday.
