Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah converted a stoppage-time penalty to give Egypt a dramatic 2-1 win over Congo Brazzaville Sunday and a place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Salah put Egypt ahead during the second half in Alexandria only for Arnold Bouka Moutou to equalise two minutes from the end of regular time.
Victory gave Egypt an uncatchable four-point lead over Uganda in Group E with one round of fixtures remaining.
The Egyptians become the second African team to reach the finals after Nigeria made it through on Saturday, with the continent’s remaining three places to be decided in November.
