Pharaohs achieved the full mark in the Africa Cup of Nations after beating Group A rivals Uganda 2-0 in the last game of group stage.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah opened the scoring after he managed to hit Cranes’ net through a left footed shot from a free kick in the 37 minutes.

Hull City right winger Ahmed El-Mohamady then doubled the scoring after he added the second goal for the Pharaohs.

Salah was so close to triple the scoring through a left-footed shot from inside the box kept away by Cranes' goalkeeper Onyango.

Egypt will face the third-placed teams of Groups; C, D, or E at Cairo Stadium in the last 16 on Saturday, July 6 (21:00 CLT).

Despite this defeat, Cranes qualified for the last 16 after DR Congo earned a 4-0 victory over Zimbabwe. This win put Cranes in the second spot with four points.
