Mohamed Salah says Egypt 'not favourites' to win Afcon after hard-fought win over Benin
Mohamed Salah admitted Egypt are not among the favourites to win the Africa Cup of Nations after needing extra time to overcome Benin 3-1 in Agadir to secure a place in the quarter-finals. Egypt kept Marcel Dandjinou plenty busy in the first half but could not find a way past the Benin goalkeeper who looked in inspired form. Marwan Attia broke the deadlock in the 69th minute, guiding home an assured finish after Salah had initiated a move down the right. Hossam Hassan's side are bidding to win the title for the first time since 2010 and a record eight times overall. "I don't think we are a favourite at all [to win the title]" Salah told reporters.
