Kelechi Iheanacho Secures Super Eagles1-0 Win Against Egypt (Video Highlights)

A terrific first-half strike from Kelechi Iheanacho secured an important 1-0 win for Nigeria in their opening AFCON 2021 clash with Egypt in Garoua on Tuesday.

Nigeria broke the deadlock in superb fashion through Leicester City striker Iheanacho, who found the top corner with his strike from the edge of the area. The goal was nothing more than Nigeria deserved as they piled the pressure on the Pharaohs.

Augustine Eguavoen’s men comfortably held on for a deserved victory to get their AFCON campaign off to the best possible start. The result means the Super Eagles sit provisionally top of group D, whilst Carlos Quieroz’s Egypt have it all to do in their final two group games, if they are to qualify from the group.
