The "Egyptian King" saved the day in a match that nearly saw a massive upset.
- The Shock: Zimbabwe took a surprising early lead through Prince Dube, who stunned the Pharaohs with a brilliant turn and finish. Egypt looked sluggish and struggled to break down Zimbabwe's low block for over an hour.
- The Comeback: Omar Marmoush finally pulled Egypt level in the 64th minute with a powerful strike from a tight angle after a solo run.
- The Final Word: With the game heading for a draw, Mohamed Salah stepped up in the final minutes to score the winner, swiveling in the box to guide a half-volley home.
- Egypt Status: Despite the win, there are concerns about Egypt’s aging midfield and their reliance on individual brilliance from Salah and Marmoush.
