Salah is Egypt’s all-time top scorer after his double in a 5-0 win over Malawi in Cairo on Friday.
The 34-year-old went into the AFCON 2027 qualifier one goal behind former captain Hossam Hassan. With 84 minutes gone, he drew level at the far post with a header. Deep into added time, he took the record outright with a cheeky Panenka penalty.

Salah is in fine form at club level too. Since joining Trabzonspor from Liverpool on a free transfer in August, he has scored nine goals in the Turkish Süper Lig. That has helped Trabzonspor into second place, three points behind leaders Galatasaray.
