Fatou Daouda, the former goalkeeper of the Ghana national team, mocked the Egyptians’ complaint about the “laser” directed at Mohamed Salah and his teammates during their match against Senegal, which led the latter to the 2022 World Cup through penalty kicks in Dakar.
The meeting was marred by a state of controversy due to the Senegalese fans’ use of the “laser” on the face of the Egyptian players during the penalty shootout, which the owner of the land and the public settled with a score of 3-1, and the story of the “laser” came after the Egyptian fans targeted Senegal’s players also in the first leg in Cairo.
