Mohamed Salah scored a 91st-minute winner as Egypt came from behind to defeat Zimbabwe 2-1 in their opening Group B match at the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 in Agadir, Morocco. Omar Marmoush equalized for the Pharaohs after Prince Dube's early strike for the Warriors. The victory keeps Egypt's unbeaten record against Zimbabwe intact for over 30 years.
