With Zimbabwe goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda in fine form, Egypt had to settle for a 1-0 win in the opening match of the Africa Cup of Nations
Egypt got off to a winning start at the Africa Cup of Nations thanks to Mahmoud Hassan's first-half goal against Zimbabwe.

The tournament hosts would have been looking to Champions League winner Mohamed Salah for inspiration but in fact it came through a different source in the 41st minute.

24-year-old midfielder Hassan fired home the only goal of the game by cutting in from the left before curling a fine effort into the bottom corner of the Zimbabwe net.
His 41st-minute strike proved decisive as Egypt spurned a number of chances to make a bigger impact but they will be satisfied with picking up maximum points from their opening game.

Egypt vs Zimbabwe 1-0- All Goals & Extended Highlights - CAF 2019

Ummmm

Zimbabwe were impressive yesterday,

Their only problem was that they had starting but no good finishing...

Egypt game plan was centered around salah which was very obvious to the warriors..

Salah on the other hand was not in good form yesterday.

It was a good game from both teams, but I'll give it to Zimbabwe...

The eagles need to up their game. because I can't see them facing those guys I watched yesterday..

I wish them all the best.

Good morning, I’m still buying all stuff you see on my bio

Just a game now..chill

Okay

Seriously the Zimbabwean should have trashed the Egyptian side if not for the fact that their attackers lack coordination in front of goals.

Bring on Senegal, Nigeria and a more determined side, they will humiliate and destroy the Egyptian team

Far from impressive how. Do u want him to dribble full.field

Think you got the name of the goal scorer wrong . Salah tried. Just cos he dint score doesn’t mean he wasn’t impressive. Besides, the tournament is just starting.

Don't condemn the man,he tried hard to find the back of the net but it was pretty difficult, do you think the Zimbabwean team came to look Pharoah pyramid? I gave it to Billia of Zimbabwe

Isn't that the first match.. Don't you taste a food you've not eaten before, before you devour it..

Op. Take yoir time this cool morning oooo

He's fast turning to the Egyptian Messi; fantastic for club, not too impressive for country

@op it was Trezeguet that scored not Hassan.

He tried yesterday, but just selfish in some cash as usual..... They played a superb one-two pass in the first half that I would have love if it was a goal...

I doubt they did

Abeg which hassan fire d goal all this rubbish naija blogger that don't know how to report news.copy n paste fools!
D only goal was scored by MOHAMMED TREZEGUET...

Salah must not do everything in every game for Egypt.
Other players should step up and deliver the team sometimes.

The only national team where they look for just one same player to do everything for them in every game is Argentina.

Thank you

Football is a collective team effort not individual effort
Am seeing Super Eagles in the finals of this AFCON 2019

Mo! Salah! Mo salah! Egyptian king, mo salah! Mo salah! the magician...

And the Yeye commentator was shouting that Sallah was giving him orgasmic feelings. Who does that?

African commentators need to go and learn professional commentary and common sense

The goal scorer was not Mahmoud Hassan

But, Trezeguet

Those zimbabwe players really tried yesterday. They put their best but lack a good forward man to net the ball.

I was expecting the egyptians to trash them 4-0 but those guys are really prepared for the game.

Wish them good luck in their next game

copy and paste news...no be trezeguet score yesterday
