Salah hits double as Egypt crush Malawi in Afcon
Egypt have seven points in Group B after three matches, three more than Angola, who host South Sudan on Saturday.
Mohamed Salah scored a double in Egypt's 5-0 victory over Malawi in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday, breaking Hossam Hassan's record as the country's all-time leading scorer with 70 goals. The 34-year-old former Liverpool star scored with a far-post header in the 84th minute and added a penalty five minutes later. Hassan had previously held the record.
Egypt currently leads Group B with seven points from three matches. Earlier, Morocco thrashed Niger 5-1 in Casablanca, with substitute Tolu Arokodaro scoring twice within eight minutes. Nigeria beat Tanzania 3-1, with Alhassan Yusuf scoring a goal just 103 seconds in, while Alphonce Msanga equalized for Tanzania late in the game. Tunisia lost 2-0 to Libya, while Kenya snatched a 2-2 draw away to South Africa.
