Mohamed Salah Becomes Egypt’s All-Time Leading Scorer with Brace Against Malawi

Egyptian football superstar Mohamed Salah has written a new chapter in his country's football history after scoring twice against Malawi in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. The Liverpool forward reportedly became Egypt's all-time leading international goalscorer, surpassing the long-standing record held by former national team star Hossam Hassan. Egypt also secured a commanding 5-0 victory over Malawi.

In the match played on Friday (November 13), the 34-year-old forward scored his first goal in the 84th minute, equalling the record previously held by former Egyptian footballer and coach Hossam Hassan.

Salah did not have to wait long to make history. During stoppage time, he converted a penalty with an elegant Panenka finish to complete his brace and move ahead of Hassan in Egypt's all-time international scoring charts.

A Historic Milestone in a 15-Year International Career

Salah made his international debut for Egypt in 2011 and has since established himself as one of the country's most influential footballers.

Over a remarkable 15-year international career, he has made 123 appearances for the national team, according to the reported figures.

His two goals against Malawi took his international tally to 70, allowing him to overtake Hossam Hassan, who had previously held Egypt's all-time goalscoring record.

Having consistently demonstrated his exceptional ability in European club football, Salah has now reportedly reached another significant personal milestone on the international stage.

The achievement further strengthens his reputation as one of the most accomplished players in Egyptian football history.

Egypt Cruise to Convincing Victory Over Malawi

Egypt delivered an impressive performance against Malawi, dominating the match from the opening stages.

The Egyptian side maintained control throughout the contest and eventually secured a comprehensive 5-0 victory.

Salah's two late goals not only extended Egypt's advantage but also turned the match into a memorable occasion for the star forward.

His first goal brought him level with Hossam Hassan's record, while his stoppage-time penalty reportedly secured his place at the top of Egypt's international goalscoring list.

The victory highlighted Egypt's attacking strength and provided another memorable moment in Salah's distinguished career.

After years of consistent performances for both club and country, becoming Egypt's all-time leading goalscorer represents one of the most significant individual achievements of Salah's international career.

The milestone also reflects his longevity, determination and lasting contribution to Egyptian football.
