  "account": "Egypt secured a dominant 5-0 victory over Malawi in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, as Mohamed Salah netted twice to become the nation's all-time leading scorer with 70 goals. The 34-year-old former Liverpool star secured a late header and a penalty in added time, surpassing Hossam Hassan's goal tally. Hassan earlier scored a goal and assisted Omar Marmoush and Nasser Maher, who set Egypt on course for a 3-0 halftime lead. Morocco thrashed Niger 5-1 in Casablanca, with substitute Tolu Arokodaro scoring twice within eight minutes, while Nigeria bounced back from a 3-0 defeat with a 4-1 win over Tanzania, thanks to goals from Alhassan Yusuf, Alphonce Msanga, and Arokodaro. Tunisia lost 2-0 to Libya, and Kenya snatched a 2-2 draw away to South Africa. Despite starting bottom of their Group, Nigeria now have a clear path to the 2027 AFCON after victories over Tanzania and Madagascar. Tunisia's campaign faces significant challenges, with three away fixtures remaining.",
