In a friendly match set to take place the day after tomorrow, Egypt’s national team will face its Algerian counterpart on the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium. This encounter is part of the preparations for the upcoming World Cup and the African Cup of Nations.
Egypt’s national team recently played a friendly match last Thursday against Zambia, securing a 1-0 victory with Hamdi Fathi scoring the lone goal.
The upcoming Egypt-Algeria match is significant as it marks the first international face-off between Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star, and Riyad Mahrez, the Saudi Al-Ahli standout.
Previously, the two football stars crossed paths on ten occasions in England, with two of these meetings occurring when Mahrez played for Leicester City, and the remaining eight during his tenure with Manchester City.
In these encounters, Salah emerged victorious in four matches, while Mahrez celebrated victory in four as well. Two matches ended in draws. Remarkably, the Egyptian star netted a total of seven goals, while the Algerian counterpart scored just one.
This high-profile match is bound to captivate football fans as these two remarkable talents compete on the international stage.
