The first four penalties were missed, with Salah’s the second of those, before both sides netted their third kicks.

Senegal beat Egypt: Senegal win on penalties to qualify for the World Cup 2022
Senegal recovered from a 1-0 first-leg deficit to land victory by the same margin at the Abdoulaye Wade Stadium on Tuesday.
Aliou Cisse’s side took the lead after only four minutes as Boulaye Dia bundled in from a corner after only four minutes. Egypt thought they had a shout for a penalty soon after but it was Senegal who really should have won the game on 81 minutes only for Ismaila Sarr to miss a gilt-edged one-on-one.
Sarr was at it again in extra time as he ghosted in at the far post but saw his point-blank effort saved well by the goalkeeper.

That meant the play-off, tied at 1-1 after 120 minutes of the second leg, went down to a battle of spot-kicks to decide who would go to Qatar 2022, and Salah missed Egypt’s first penalty when he fired over the bar.
Lasers flashed across the pitch and were directed at Egypt’s star man, who could not find the focus to convert from 12 yards.
