Mohamed Salah has missed a crucial penalty during Egypt’s World Cup play-off with Senegal after multiple lasers were shone into his eyes.

The Egyptian FA has also said the Liverpool forward and his teammates were subject to racist abuse from Senegal fans.

Senegal qualified for the 2022 World Cup on penalties with Saido Mane scoring the winning kick, but football fans have criticised the decision to allow play to go ahead after Salah was targeted by laser pens.

He faced the penalty shootout with dozens of the lights being shone directly in his eyes, causing him to blaze the ball straight over the bar.

It means two months on from Senegal’s triumph over Egypt on penalties to win the Africa Cup of Nations, history has repeated itself.

The Egyptian FA has now said its players – and Salah in particular – had bottles and rocks thrown at them during warm-ups.

It also claims Senegal fans attacked the team bus as it approached the stadium.

The Egyptian FA posted pictures of the incidents to its official Instagram account, which showed smashed windows on the bus and a fan holding a sign with abuse aimed at Salah.

It said it has submitted an official complaint against its Senegalese counterpart.

“The Egyptian group’s busses have also been exposed to assaults that led to broken windows and injuries; filed with pictures and videos as proof in the complaint submitted,” the EFA said.
