Mohamed Salah was escorted off the pitch by military officers after pitch invaders broke out onto the turf.

Salah had to be escorted off the pitch when invaders charged towards him.
But in the closing moments of the match at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex, a handful of fans broke onto the pitch and charged toward the Liverpool star.
Security reacted quickly by putting the offenders down on the ground before several military officers escorted Salah off the pitch.

Punches were thrown by members of the security team at one pitch invader as the contest threatened to transform into chaos.
While it remains to be seen what the intentions of the pitch invaders were, security took no risks by acting forcefully.
Egypt were already 2-0 up by the time of the incident while Tyrese Fornah had been sent off earlier in the match.
Salah was uncharacteristically not among the goals for the Pharaohs but still proved a handful.
Salah was escorted away as the pitch invaders were dealt with. Sierra Leone had another player sent off in the 99th minute to end the match with nine players.

They had got their qualifying campaign off to a flyer with a 6-0 win over Djibouti on Thursday.
Salah scored four goals on that encounter, taking his total tally for his country to 55 goals.
