Fifty international matches came and went before Mohamed Hany scored for Egypt. The Al Ahly right-back finally found the net on Friday evening, 13 November 2026, at Cairo International Stadium, as Egypt beat Malawi 5-0 in the third round of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n
His goal came in the 39th minute: a powerful first-time strike from outside the penalty area that made it 3-0. Hany had already set up the opener, crossing for Nasser Maher to score in the sixth minute, before Omar Marmoush added the second in the 10th. Mohamed Salah completed the rout with a header in the 84th minute and a stoppage-time penalty, goals that made him Egypt's all-time leading scorer.<\/p>\n
Speaking to beIN Sports after the match, in remarks carried by Masrawy, Hany said he was happy with the win and with scoring his first goal for Egypt. He added that he had expected Salah to score on the night and move to the top of the national team's all-time scoring list.<\/p>\n
The match was Ali Maher's first competitive game in charge of Egypt. The win lifted the Pharaohs to seven points at the top of their qualifying group, and the two sides meet again in the fourth round on Tuesday, 17 November.<\/p>\n
