Mohamed Salah scored as Egypt won 3-2 to dump defending champion Cote d¡¯Ivoire out of the Africa Cup of Nations in a thrilling quarterfinal on Saturday.

Omar Marmoush and Ramy Rabia netted for Egypt, then Ahmed Aboul-Fetouh conceded an own goal before halftime.

Salah then edged closer to a first Africa Cup of Nations winners medal by doubling the lead soon after the break before Guela Doue pulled a goal back for Cote d¡¯Ivoire.
