Nigeria’s Super Eagles had a positive start at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament following a 1-0 win over Egypt in a Group D match at the Roumde Adjia Stadium in Garoua, Cameroon, on Tuesday evening.
The Super Eagles’ goal came after Kelechi Iheanacho netted in the 30th minute. The Leicester City forward scored a beauty from the edge of the box.
The Pharaohs attacked relentlessly in both halves, but failed to breach the solid Super Eagles defence.
