Egypt 1–0 South Africa — AFCON 2025 (Group B)

Egypt claimed a *crucial 1–0 victory* over South Africa in their Group B clash in Agadir, with the *only goal coming from Mohamed Salah from the penalty spot just before half‑time*. The result not only maintained Egypt’s perfect start in the tournament but also sent them into the knockout stage with two wins from two games.

⚽ The Decisive Moment: Salah from the Spot

The match’s defining moment came right at the end of the first half. Salah was brought down in the box after a foul by South Africa’s Khuliso Mudau. After a VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty, which Salah calmly converted — demonstrating his trademark composure and elite finishing. [2]

This goal underlines why Salah remains one of Africa’s most dangerous attackers, particularly in major tournaments. His penalty not only gave Egypt the lead but also continued his fine scoring form at the AFCON.

---

Egypt’s Resilience

What makes this performance noteworthy is the context: Egypt *finished the second half with ten men* after Mohamed Hany was sent off just before the interval. Despite being a man down, the Pharaohs defended stoutly, showcasing tactical discipline and mental toughness.

South Africa grew into the second half with numerical advantage and controlled more possession, but the Egyptian defence, marshalled by goalkeeper *Mohamed El Shenawy*, stood firm. Several late chances came and went for the South Africans, including appeals for a late penalty that were turned down after VAR review. [2]

---

Tactical Overview

Egypt:

- Entered the match with confidence after winning their opener.
- Balanced attack and defence, prepared to absorb pressure.
- Relied on experience and key players like Salah and Omar Marmoush to create moments of threat.

South Africa:

- Showed good rhythm and attacking intent but lacked the cutting edge in the final third.
- Struggled to break down a compact Egyptian defence despite controlling phases of the second half.

---

Impact on the Group & What It Means

With this win, Egypt sits on *6 points after two games*, guaranteeing a top‑two finish in Group B and confirming their place in the *Round of 16*. South Africa, on *3 points*, still have hope — but now must get a result in their final group game to stay in contention.

The victory also extends Egypt’s unbeaten record in this edition and highlights their credentials as serious contenders. South Africa, who began with a solid win over Angola, now face a tougher path to qualification.

---

🏅 Key Takeaways

- *Mohamed Salah once again proved decisive* in a major African tournament.
- *Egypt’s defensive resolve under pressure* will boost confidence as they advance.
- South Africa’s campaign remains alive, but they must respond in their next game.

BREAKING; U.S. Military Carries Out Christmas Night Airstrikes in Nigeria After Trump Threat

‎ December 25, 2025 — Northwest Nigeria / Washington, D.C.

‎U.S. forces struck Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) militant positions in northwest Nigeria on Christmas night, fulfilling a threat issued earlier by President Donald J. Trump over escalating attacks on Christian communities. President Trump announced the operation on his Truth Social platform, calling it a “powerful and deadly strike” against militants he accused of “targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians,” and warned that “there would be hell to pay” if the violence continued.

‎The strikes, reportedly carried out in Sokoto State, were confirmed by U.S. Africa Command and described as precision hits that eliminated multiple extremist fighters at the request of Nigerian authorities. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signaled that further action could follow if the campaign against civilians persists.

‎Nigeria’s Federal Government acknowledged the operation as part of ongoing international security cooperation, emphasizing respect for Nigerian sovereignty and shared objectives to weaken violent extremist networks. Officials underscored that terrorism affects all communities, regardless of faith, and pledged continued efforts to protect all citizens.


‎The Christmas night intervention marks a significant escalation of U.S. involvement following weeks of public pressure by the Trump administration and comes amid broader concerns about religious violence in parts of Nigeria.
