Egypt has secured a spot in the round of 16 of AFCON 2025 after defeating South Africa 1-0 with a penalty goal from Mohamed Salah in the 45th minute.

The Pharaohs, who were reduced to 10 men in the first half after Mohamed Hany’s red card, held on to their lead despite South Africa’s strong second-half pressure.

This win puts Egypt at the top of Group B with six points from two matches, guaranteeing them a top-two finish.

South Africa, on the other hand, has three points and will face Zimbabwe in their next match.
