An “incredible†goal from star Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah in the Africa Nations Cup qualifier in Cairo on Friday left Twitterati into a frenzy. Salah scored the ‘wonder goal’ directly from a corner but later limped off as the match drew to a close. In the qualifier, Egypt registered 4-1 win over eSwatini (Swaziland).
However, Salah’s goal remained the moment of the match with people on social media hailing the 26-year-old “King of Egypt†for his sublime goal. While some bestowed him with the title of the Egyptian King, others were not able to believe what their eyes just saw - a shocking goal directly from a corner kick.
