Salah, a talisman for his country on the international stage, was kept quiet in the clash – and later left the pitch looking crestfallen at full-time.

To make matters potentially worse for him, he was asked to take a picture by a coach, but duly agreed to it in a touch of real class.

In footage now widely shared across social media, the forward looked to walk off the field before being pulled over by the star-struck individual.

The coach, seemingly with his phone already in hand, then took the snap he will remember for a lifetime, with Salah just about managing to hide his disappointment.

Salah even placed his arm around his fan, further underlining his sportsmanship.
