With that finish, Salah became only the third Egyptian player to reach double figures at AFCON.

The exclusive Egypt list now reads:

Hassan El-Shazly – 12 goals
Hossam Hassan – 11 goals
Mohamed Salah – 10 goals

A remarkable achievement for a player whose legacy at club level was already secure — and one that continues to grow internationally.

According to the historical rankings, he now shares the 10-goal mark with legends such as Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba and Sadio Mané, all of whom left an indelible mark on the tournament.

A Legacy Still Being Written

At 33, Mohamed Salah continues to deliver when it matters most for Egypt. His 10th AFCON goal is both a milestone and a reminder: this story is far from finished.

As Egypt push deeper into the tournament, Salah’s next goal could be the one that moves him from elite company to outright legend.
