Liverpool superstar Mo Salah, a talisman for his country on the international stage, was kept quiet after his Country was subdued by the their Nigerian opponent in the AFCON clash – and he later left the pitch looking crestfallen at full-time, according to the Daily Mail
As if that was not enough and to make matters potentially worse for him, Salah was asked to take a picture by a coach from the Nigerian side, but he duly agreed to it in a touch of real class.
The smart coach, seemingly with his phone already in hand, then took the snap he will remember for a lifetime, with Salah just about managing to hide his disappointment.
Salah even placed his arm around his fan, further underlining his sportsmanship.
After that, the 29-year-old was able to walk back to the dressing room.
Egypt delivered a disappointing performance in the clash, with Salah in particular failing to inspire his side on to claw back a goal after they fell behind.
He was restricted to just a small number of dribbles, and also attempted just one shot throughout the entire clash, with resulted in a block.
The opener came from Leicester marksman Kelechi Iheanacho, who controlled the ball superbly on the edge of the penalty area before lashing into the net.
After that, Nigeria looked to seize the impetus in a bid to double their lead, and Taiwo Awoniyi’s effort was brilliantly kept out by Mohamed El Shenaway.
Although, Iheanacho was guilty of a sloppy touch when presented with a chance to notch his brace, while Salah was unable to clip the ball over Maduka Okoye in behind but Nigeria won the match.
