Marmoush nets penalty as Egypt beat Ethiopia | OneFootball

Omar Marmoush scored a penalty as Egypt beat Ethiopia 2-0 in their World Cup qualifier at the Cairo International Stadium on Friday.

Our man played the first 63 minute as part of a hyper attacking midfield unit in support of No.9 Osama Faisal.

Liverpool's Mo Salah opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 41 minutes before Marmoush replicated that from 12 yards on the stroke of half-time.
