87' MISS! Salah's shot over the bar

Match Report

Liverpool forward Salah scored with a dipping free-kick in the 36th minute after Egypt withstood a bright start by Uganda, and Aston Villa defender Ahmed El Mohamady doubled the Pharaohs' lead in first-half stoppage time.

The result helped group winners Egypt to move on from the headlines regarding Amr Warda, who will return to contention for a place in Javier Aguirre's team after the Egyptian Football Association overturned the decision to expel him from the squad for alleged sexual harassment.

Uganda was without a goalkeeper what a silly free kick goal both Egypt goals were poor only if Uganda had a good goalkeeper
- JonSnowsBeard: Uganda has one of the best goalkeepers in africa but clearly you didnt know that and just chose to spit out misinformation
