AFCON Qualifiers: Nigeria Draws With Egypt

The Super Eagles were denied the chance of going top on the standings in Group G of the 2017 AFCON Qualifiers after they were forced to a 1-1 draw by the Pharaohs of Egypt at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna yesterday.

Oghenekaro Etebo got the only goal for Nigeria on the hour-mark after a goal mouth scramble that finally broke the resilience of the Egyptians who looked very much contented with a draw.

But what was looking like a fair result was overturned when Roma’s Mohammed Salah got the equaliser. The second leg comes up in four days’ time in Alexandria.
