Salah was surprised to get penalty, claims SA boss Broos

"The second was a real penalty, because the arm was extended from the body and the ball hit his arm -- but then suddenly, there is a rule of the supporting arm. What is the supporting arm? There are so many rules now [for determining] if it's a penalty or not a penalty that people don't know anymore what to decide."

"The other decision Broos aimed at from referee Pacifique Ndabihawenimana and his officiating team was the denial of Bafana's penalty shout for handball against Yasser Ibrahim. The centre-back had blocked a Teboho Mokoena shot with his arm inside the box in the dying minutes of the game. However, despite a VAR check, the penalty was not awarded due to Ibrahim's arm having been adjudged to have been in a natural position to support his body despite being extended."

"Salah's panenka came off the back of a foul he won off Khuliso Mudau. The Bafana right-back's hand caught Salah's face, but contact was minimal. Bafana played the second half with a numerical advantage due to a red card to Mohamed Hany after he picked up a second yellow for a foul on Teboho Mokoena right before half-time. They had 62% of the possession and 16 shots to Egypt's seven throughout the course of the game."

Egypt defeated South Africa 1-0 when Mohamed Salah converted a panenka from a penalty that South Africa's coach said surprised even Salah. The penalty followed minimal contact when Khuliso Mudau's hand brushed Salah's face. South Africa had a late handball shout against Yasser Ibrahim checked by VAR but the penalty was not awarded because Ibrahim's arm was judged to be in a natural supporting position despite being extended. Coach Hugo Broos criticised both decisions and questioned the complexity of penalty rules. South Africa dominated possession and shots and enjoyed a numerical advantage after Mohamed Hany was sent off.
