Mohamed Salah became Egypt's all-time leading scorer after netting twice in the 5-0 win over Malawi in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.
Salah moves clear at the top
The Egypt captain struck in the 84th minute and again in stoppage time to take his international tally to 70. That moved him past Hossam Hassan's previous record of 69 goals.
Salah has played for Egypt since 2011 and now sits alone at the top of the country's scoring chart. Egypt's win over Malawi came in a qualifying match for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
A new mark for Egypt's captain
The result added another milestone to Salah's international career. He has scored decisive goals for Egypt across more than a decade and now holds the national team's scoring record outright.
