<p>It was yet another remarkable evening in Mohamed Salah’s illustrious career as he propelled Egypt to the semifinals of the Africa Cup of Nations. Egypt advanced to their semifinal matchup against Senegal following a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Ivory Coast, where Salah played a pivotal role. After Omar Marmoush opened the scoring, Salah assisted Ramy Rabia’s second goal before netting the third to secure the win.</p>
<p>The 33-year-old has faced challenges this season at Liverpool, with Arne Slot sidelining him and Salah expressing his dissatisfaction openly. However, he has thrived in the AFCON, scoring four goals in four matches. His goal and assist against the Ivory Coast marked Salah’s 100th goal contribution for Egypt, prompting an analysis of how this achievement ranks among the fastest players to reach such an international milestone.</p>
<h2>Fastest Players to Reach 100 International Goal Contributions</h2>
<p>Salah reached the 100-goal contribution mark for Egypt in just 111 matches, making him the third fastest player to achieve this feat. With 65 goals and 35 assists for the Pharaohs, he is now keen on winning the AFCON title for the first time. As illustrated in the graphic below, Pelé holds the record for the fastest player to reach 100 international goal contributions.</p>
