Jan 10 - Egypt forward Mohamed Salah described the victory over defending champions Ivory Coast as a "perfect win", hailing his teammates after qualifying for the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.

Salah scored the third goal for Hossam Hassan's side, as Egypt ended Ivory Coast's reign with a narrow 3-2 triumph, with Liverpool's talisman setting a new record by scoring against 11 different national teams at the AFCON.
