Tbh Egypt GK deserved it. Won 2 penalty shootouts, was amazing today. Saved 2 pens today, Mendy one. Plus Mendy did not play first 2 games.

It's generally a popularity contest where these things are concerned, unfortunately. Salah being chosen ahead of Toko Ekambi in the Team of the Tournament is another example of that.  

Edit - Mendy thought the same thing:

On social media, Patrick de Paula shared a cryptic post. Citing courage to take the first step, the athlete who graduated from Palmeiras indicated a possible change of scenery. 

[Vesper 28,768]

Mendy would have stopped both Palmeiras goals, likely Kepa as well

[Vesper 28,768]

wow

clear pen by Palmeiras

not given

[ZAPHOD2319 4,476]

Palmerias looked a lot better, but I have no idea the quality of the two teams.

[Vesper 28,768]

another pen not called against Palmeiras

FT

2 nil

a goal chalked off for Al Ahly as well, plus they hit the bar twice

and a great save stopped another goal

Palmeiras defence is shady, but they are deffo dangerous going forward
