Mohamed Salah appeared to be the difference for Egypt in their international friendly with Portugal on Friday.

The 25-year-old, who netted four times in Liverpool’s 5-0 demolition of Watford last time out, opened the scoring for The Pharaohs at the Letzigrund Stadion in Switzerland. Receiving the ball on the edge of the area, Salah fired a first-time left footed shot past Beto, who was taken completely by surprise.
