Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has had a school renamed in his honor after he helped Egypt qualify for the FIFA 2018 World Cup.
Salah scored a stoppage-time penalty to secure a 2-1 win over Congo on Sunday and Egypt’s place in the finals for the first time since 1990.

Salah had earlier opened the scoring in the match, but Congo levelled through Arnold Bouka, with the game heading into stoppage time at 1-1.
Drama then ensued when Egypt were awarded a penalty with just a minute of stoppage time remaining.
Salah then showed no nerves, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to secure a late victory and send his team to Russia.
