Amr El-Dardir Hails Mohamed Salah as a Legend After Historic AFCON Record
Football analyst Amr El-Dardir praised Mohamed Salah for leading Egypt to a dramatic win over Zimbabwe, highlighting his record of scoring in five consecutive Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
Football analyst Amr El-Dardir described Egypt’s star Mohamed Salah as a "legend" following his performance in Egypt's match against Zimbabwe in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Salah scored his first goal of the current tournament against Zimbabwe, securing a last-minute win for Egypt in the opening group match. He also became the first Egyptian player to score in five consecutive AFCON editions: two goals in 2017, two in 2019, two in 2021, one in 2023, and now one in 2025, reflecting his sustained contribution to the national team.
Statistics confirm that Salah’s goals have been decisive in crucial matches, both in group stages and knockout rounds, while also enhancing his leadership and ability to organize the team’s attacks.
Compared to other African stars like Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o, who scored in four consecutive editions, Salah stands out as the first Egyptian to reach five, marking a remarkable continental achievement.
This milestone cements Mohamed Salah not only as a football star but as a continuing symbol of excellence in African football, setting a new benchmark for Egyptian and African players alike.
