The man of the match in Egypt’s friendly against Benin was Mostafa Mohamed, not Mohamed Salah or Marwan Hamdy, as the official award later confirmed.
Egypt faced Benin in a warm-up as part of the national team’s preparations, with the game drawing attention for the return of several key names and the search for standout performers.
While Salah remained the headline figure and Marwan Hamdy was among the players involved, the individual honour went to Mostafa Mohamed after his impact over the course of the match.
The reveal settled the debate around who impressed most, with the organisers naming the Nantes striker as the best player on the pitch in the Egypt vs Benin contest.
