"Mohamed Salah's first-half penalty was enough for 10-man Egypt to make it two wins from two at the Africa Cup of Nations, as they beat South Africa 1-0. In a dramatic finish to the first half, Salah netted from 12 yards before Mohamed Hany was sent off for a second yellow, but Egypt held on for all three points. And the Egypt captain made no mistake from the resulting spot-kick, which was awarded following a VAR review, as he dinked his shot down the middle, leaving Ronwen Williams helpless in the 45th minute."
"Emam Ashour saw an effort smothered as Egypt continued to hold out against South Africa, but with just two minutes remaining, Egypt were given a scare as there was a lengthy VAR check for a handball against Yasser Ibrahim on the line, but nothing was awarded. And in the closing stages, Lyle Foster did not get enough purchase on his free header, with Mohamed El Shenawy pushing it off the line in stoppage time."
