Saudi actually had a chance to tie the score, but Hatan Bahbri missed what looked like a gimme over the bar.
“The difference between our first match and this match is absolutely enormous,” declared manager Juan Antonio Pizzi.
Now, Saudi Arabia has gone 366 minutes without a goal in World Cup matches, as well as losing 11 straight games at this level.
Salah looked willing enough when coming back from a shoulder injury but the Liverpool star snatched at a few half-chances before slotting home a penalty in fine style.
Head coach Hector Cuper said: “Perhaps we weren’t decisive enough, perhaps we lacked that little extra thing to get there.
“But I must recognize the great effort that they have done after 28 years where Egypt had not taken part in a World Cup.”
Expert Final Analysis & Score Prediction
Even though Mohamed Salah is definitely not 100 percent, Egypt is still the pick to get past a Saudi team that has been absolutely embarrassing for the most part, since this tournament started. The Pharaohs’ supporting cast around Salah, including Arsenal midfielder Mohamed El Neny and West Brom defender Ahmed Hegazi, will lead them to victory in the final world cup match for both, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia have met each other on three occasions. Saudi Arabia won the first meeting in the 1999 Confederations Cup but they have lost the subsequent two meetings.
Pick: Egypt 2 – Saudi Arabia 0
