Mo Salah targeted in pitch invasion as 2 players sent off in Egypt clash

Mo Salah’s last game for Egypt ended with Liverpool’s number 11 storming the pitch in a World Cup qualifier.The forwards came on in the 89th minute as Egypt lead 2-0 against Sierra Leone in Liberia.

Before the first man could reach Salah, he was knocked to the ground and severely beaten by several security guards.As the game heated up, one could only tell that the tension was building from the ground to the stands, but it was not clear what the purpose was. While this was happening, another fan came out of the stands at Samuel Canyon Stadium and ran towards Salah.

But before he could reach the captain, Mohamed Abdelmonem tackled the striker and forced him to change direction. Other people, including a man wearing a Manchester City shirt, rushed onto the pitch but security was low.Fortunately, the Liverpool winger doesn’t seem too bothered by what’s going on around him, but this is still an incident that needs to be carefully assessed, and additional security measures may be needed in the future. . However, it is unclear whether Salah is actually in danger.

We know that he has become one of the biggest names in African sports and we know that if an incident like this happens again, his safety could be at risk.As mentioned above, it was a close contest with Sierra Leone finishing the match with 9 men. Derby midfielder Tyrese Forma received a second yellow card in the 39th minute, while Abdul Jarju Kabia received a red card in the 100th minute.

Egypt eventually won 2-0 and took six points from two World Cup qualifiers. In the Pharaohs’ other matches at the international tournament, Salah scored four goals as Louis Vitoria’s side beat Djibouti 6-0.The sooner Egypt completes the qualifiers, the better from Liverpool’s perspective. Theoretically, Salah could miss some matches towards the end of the qualifiers.
