Mohamed Salah became Egypt's all-time leading goalscorer on November 14, 2026, after scoring twice in Egypt's 5-0 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying win over Malawi.
He surpassed Hossam Hassan's record of 69 international goals by converting a Panenka penalty; his first goal was a header that levelled him with Hassan shortly before the penalty.
The match was the first for new Egypt coach Ali Maher since his appointment.
