Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

Essam Baheeg was an Egyptian football manager and former footballer who played as a winger for Zamalek. He also played for the Egypt national team, and was a part of the team that won the 1959 Africa Cup of Nations, and scored the two winning goals for his country in the final. He was an iconic player in Egypt and one of the best of his generation. As a manager, Baheeg coached Zamalek for only one season, succeeding to win the Egyptian Premier League, Egypt Cup, Afro-Asian Club Championship and the Friendship International Cup. — Wikipedia
