Egypt's Omar Marmoush returned to scoring form after a dry spell, netting the second goal for the Pharaohs in the ongoing match at the Juba National Stadium, part of the second round of qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. This brought the score to 2-0 in favor of Egypt after Mustafa Ziko's opening goal.
Marmoush's last goal for his country came against Saudi Arabia on March 27, after which he went nine consecutive matches without finding the net against Spain, Russia, Brazil, Belgium, New Zealand, Iran, Australia, Argentina, and Angola.
Marmoush ended his scoring drought with the Egyptian national team against South Sudan, marking his return to the scoresheet after a nine-match absence.
The Pharaohs took the lead against South Sudan with a goal from Mustafa Ziko before Omar Marmoush added the second, making it 2-0 for Egypt.
