Mohamed Salah and Egypt have the upper hand in their duel against Sadio Mane’s Senegal in the African World Cup qualifiers.
The only game of the match came in the fourth minute as Mohamed Salah hit the bar and the ball went in off Saliou Ciss.
Only one of these two teams can progress to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and at the moment, Egypt are in the driving seat.
On the other hand, Nigeria and Ghana had to settle for a 0-0 draw in Ghana on Friday after VAR overruled a decision to award the visitors a penalty in the first leg of a World Cup play-off.
A review of the decision in the closing stages of the west African showdown in Kumasi found that Ghana midfielder Iddrisu Baba was fouled before he handled.
Ghana came closest to breaking the deadlock with Nigerian goalkeeper Francis Uzoho pulling off a superb save to deny Fatahu Ishaku in the first half.
Next Tuesday is the day when Africa’s representatives at the World Cup will be decided. Five teams will go to Qatar next winter and the other five teams will be left at home.
