Egypt Won Big and Even Moroccans Cheered Like It Was Their Night!
Egypt’s national team delivered a night to remember in Agadir, Morocco, as they beat South Africa 1–0 in the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, and the atmosphere in the stadium was electric.
Mohamed Salah stepped up just before halftime and calmly converted a penalty to put the Pharaohs ahead, proving once again why he’s one of Africa’s most iconic football figures. Despite Egypt being reduced to 10 men shortly after when Mohamed Hany received a second yellow card, the team held strong and didn’t let the advantage slip.
What made the night extra special wasn’t just the goal — it was the crowd. Egyptian fans made their presence felt loud and clear, and plenty of Moroccan supporters joined in the celebration too, cheering with such warmth and energy that you could easily forget the match wasn’t taking place in Cairo. That kind of sportsmanship and shared excitement lit up social feeds everywhere.

By securing this result, Egypt became the first team to book their place in the AFCON knockout stage — a confident step forward in their title chase. The Pharaohs showed grit, resilience, and heart under pressure, proving they can battle through adversity and come out shining.
From Salah’s composed finish to the way even neutral supporters cheered alongside Egyptian fans, this was one of those nights where football truly brought people together, full of excitement, pride, and celebration that stretched far beyond borders.
