AFCON 2019: Egypt takes lead as Trezeguet scores opening goal

Egypt winger Mahmoud “Trezeguet” Hassan has scored the first goal of the Africa Cup of Nations to give the Pharaohs the lead against Zimbabwe as the Africa Cup of Nations gets underway.

The 23-year-old was on target in the 38th minute of action at the Cairo International Stadium.
It was his seventh goal for the host nation in 35 appearances.

He got the nickname from the former French footballer David Trezeguet after his former youth coach noticed similarities between the pair in playing style and appearance.
