Egypt made history in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers by scoring at least five goals in two consecutive matches for the first time since June 2003. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah moved up to third place on the list of Africa's all-time leading international goal scorers.

Egypt began their impressive run with a 5-0 victory over South Sudan in the second round before defeating Malawi by the same margin in the third round at Cairo Stadium.

The last time Egypt scored five or more goals in consecutive African qualifying matches was in June 2003, when they beat Mauritius 7-0 on June 8 and Madagascar 6-0 on June 20.

Salah scored his 70th international goal for Egypt, surpassing compatriot and former national team coach Hossam Hassan, who had scored 69 goals.

Zambia's Godfrey Chitalu leads the African international scoring chart with 79 goals, followed by Malawi's Kinnah Phiri with 71. Salah now occupies third place.
