Mo Salah registered a goal and an assist to help secure a point for Egypt against Mozambique.
In the 2nd minute of the match, a left-sided cross led to Salah attempting a first-time volley.
However, an unexpected miskick from the Liverpool forward turned into an unintentional yet perfect assist for his teammate Mostafa Mohamed, who turned the defender around before hitting it first time, giving Egypt an early lead.
