The Liverpool star’s missed attempt contributed to Egypt’s loss in the World Cup qualifier.
Before Egypt’s Mohamed Salah attempted a penalty kick at the end of their World Cup qualifying match versus Senegal on Tuesday, he was covered in green lights.
Senegal fans used the laser beams on Salah in order to distract him. The Liverpool forward ended up missing the shot most likely due to the various green laser beams that shined on his face. His shot ended up going over the crossbar.
With the win, Senegal earned a spot in the World Cup. Salah’s Liverpool teammate Sadio Mané made his penalty kick, which sealed the win for his team. This is only the third time the country has qualified for the World Cup.
So, along with that, Egypt is now out of the World Cup. Previously, Egypt played in the 2018 World Cup.
