A superb second half by the national team, with the return of Mohamed Salah, was in favor of Egypt who defeated Guinea 3-1, gaining a much needed momentum ahead of the upcoming African Cup of nations.

Marwan Mohsen opened the scoring in the 11th minute after blasting the goal into the nets of the guests, in one of the best goals of the year. From then on neither side was able to gain a clear advantage over the other, as both nations raced to the goal of the opposition.

Guinea started the second half strong with Sory Kaba scoring the equalizer in the 63rd minute after an error from Omar Gaber. Salah entered the match in the 69th minute giving his national team a much needed momentum.

The 77th minute saw a great display of skills by the Liverpool star, who dribbled past the goalkeeper twice before placing it in the post, with Ahmed Ali capitalizing on the rebound giving Egypt the lead.

Omar Gaber scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute after a great pass by Salah.
