Afcon: Guinea coach Paul Put satisfied despite losing 3-1 to Egypt in friendly

Guinea coach Paul Put says his side impressed in the defeat to Egypt in their final Africa Cup of Nations preparatory game, held at the Borg El Arab Stadium on Sunday evening.

It took just 11 minutes for the Pharaohs of Egypt to go in front thanks to a sublime effort from Marwan Mohsen, before Dijon forward Sory Kaba restored parity for the Syli Nationale in the 63rd minute of the encounter.

However, the introduction of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah proved influential as he assisted Ahmed Ali Kamel and Omar Gaber for Egypt’s second and third goals.
