Nantes and Egypt striker Mostafa Mohamed congratulated his teammate Mohamed Salah after he moved clear at the top of Egypt’s all-time scoring chart, celebrating the achievement in a message posted on his Instagram account.

The congratulations came after Salah scored twice in Egypt’s 5-0 win over Malawi in the third round of Group Two of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Salah took his tally to 70 international goals, surpassing Hossam Hassan, who scored 69 goals for the national team.

Nasser Maher, Omar Marmoush and Mohamed Hany scored Egypt’s first three goals before Salah added the fourth and fifth in the 84th and 90+5th minutes, with the second coming from a penalty.
