CNN —Egypt reached the Africa Cup of Nations knockout stages thanks to a 2-2 draw against Cape Verde in a stunning finale to Group B, as Ghana threw away a 2-0 lead to move to the brink of an early tournament exit. Going into the final round of matches, Cape Verde had already secured top spot but Egypt, Ghana and Mozambique all had a chance of reaching the last 16. Their disappointment, however, would be short lived and they were quickly informed that Ghana had squandered its 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Mozambique in the 91st and 94th minute. Relief will certainly be the overriding emotion for an Egypt team that has struggled to make much of an impression at the tournament so far. Ghana blew a 2-0 lead in injury time to move to the brink of elimination from AFCON.

CNN —Mohamed Salah was escorted off the pitch by men in military uniforms at the end of Egypt’s World Cup qualifier against Sierra Leone after pitch invaders targeted the Liverpool star on Sunday. In the 89th minute of the match, with Egypt 2-0 up, footage on social media shows stewards in high-vis yellow jackets running onto the pitch and tackling a pitch invader close to where Salah was standing. In another video on social media, a shirtless Salah could be seen being escorted off the pitch by men in military uniform, while some people tried to take selfies with the star. The match was also eventful, with Sierra Leone finishing the game with nine men after two red cards. Salah will now return to Liverpool ahead of a much-anticipated match against Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.

Presa din Hexagon a descris meciul de pe Arena Națională ca fiind "incredibil", iar prestația campioanei mondiale a fost criticată pe alocuri:"Anihilaţi, Distruşi, Devastaţi. Istoria s-a repetat, iar Mbappe a preluat rolul lui Trezeguet și a ratat", scriu jurnaliștii de la L'Equipe. Cu toatea acestea, prestația slabă din defensivă a anulat cele trei goluri marcate și a oprit Franța din drumul spre sferturi. Noi ne așteptam ca Mbappe să fie noul Balon de Aur, însă la EURO a fost doar un balon adormit", scrie La Provence.
