Softfootball understands that Mohamed Salah's penalty ended up being all Egypt really needed, as the Pharaohs squeezed past South Africa 1-0 in Agadir to reach the Africa Cup of Nations knockout rounds.
Playing the whole second half with ten men, Egypt were forced to dig in and suffer, but they did enough to end Bafana Bafana's 9-game unbeaten run.
Egypt celebrated this victory and their qualification for the next round via their official X account.
