Uganda v Egypt Match Report, 30/06/2019

Mohamed Salah scored his second goal of the Africa Cup of Nations to help Egypt beat Uganda 2-0 and make it three wins from three Group A matches as both sides qualified for the last 16.

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.
