Mohamed Salah was once dubbed the "Messi of Egypt," and for good reason.
In the final matchday of Group D in the Africa Cup of Nations, Egypt met Ghana in a game that would go a long way to deciding the overall group winner and runner-up.
But Salah took matters into his own hands, sending a perfectly placed free-kick rocketing into the top corner of the Ghanaian net, to the dismay of the helpless Brimah Razak in goal.
The set piece gave Egypt the crucial 1-0 opener in the 10th minute.
