Nothing had separated the sides over the course of the regulation 90 minutes and extra-time of a tense affair, leading to the drama of penalties.

Salah, who featured for the entirety of the game, had the chance to seal victory for Egypt and swept his kick into the right-hand side of the net to confirm their qualification to the next round.

Egypt will now face Morocco in the last eight on Sunday evening, a match that will precede the quarter-final tie of Sadio Mane’s Senegal.
