Mohamed Salah, the star of the Egyptian national team, has put an end to the ongoing debate regarding his status as the all-time leading goalscorer for the national team.
Salah scored two goals during Egypt’s match against Malawi on Friday, as part of the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
The situation sparked a debate on social media platforms as to whether Salah had surpassed Hossam Hassan’s record as the top scorer for the Egyptian national team.
While some say Salah has reached his 70th goal, surpassing Hassan (who scored 69), others argue that two of Salah’s goals were not officially counted; according to this latter view, Salah currently has 68 goals, not 70.
Salah posted an image on his social media accounts featuring the number 70, marking his status as a historic top scorer for the Egyptian national team.
