#AFCON2021: Super Eagles defeats Pharaohs of Egypt (video)
It was a good start for the Super Eagles of Nigeria as they defeated the Pharaohs of Egypt, the seven-time champions 1-0, in an opening group B game.
Egypt just about edged Nigeria on possession until half an hour into the match when a great opportunistic Iheanacho put Nigeria ahead.

They never looked back after that, making repeated fast-paced runs and running Egypt scared.
The great star on the pitch this evening, Liverpool’s Mo Salah, barely got a chance to score, as his Egypt teammates did not give him the service he is used to at his club.
