Egypt talisman Mohamed Salah scored his first goal of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations as he netted during his country's comfortable 2-0 win over DR Congo on Wednesday.

Salah struck just before the break with a fine finish with two defenders in front of him to double Egypt’s lead.

Earlier Aston Villa defender Ahmed Elmohamady had got Egypt on their way with a clever flicked finish from a loose ball in the box.

The result sees Egypt qualify for the next round and they are still yet to concede a goal.
