Egypt posted an unwanted historic record against Senegal after their latest meeting ended without the Pharaohs finding the net once again.
The result confirmed that Egypt have now gone eight consecutive matches against Senegal without scoring, a negative run that has not happened for Egypt against any opponent before.
Those eight games included clashes across different competitions, with Senegal keeping clean sheets every time and continuing to frustrate Egypt whenever the two sides meet.
The streak underlines Senegal’s defensive dominance in this head-to-head, as Egypt’s attack has failed to break through in any of the last eight encounters.
It is a record Egypt will be keen to end in the next meeting, but for now the numbers show a clear pattern: strong Senegal organisation and a complete scoring drought for the Pharaohs in this fixture.
