Egypt’s Mohamed Salah vying with Nigeria’s defender William Troost-Ekong during their Group D 2021 Africa Cup of Nations match atNigeria were deserved 1-0 winners in their heavyweight Group D opening clash against Egypt at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, with superstar Mohamed Salah unable to inspire the record seven-time champions.
It was the first competitive game the Eagles played since the sacking of former coach Gernot Rohr, and they were the better side as they dominated proceedings for the entire 90 minutes of the game. The Eagles continued to dominate and created another chance but the goalkeeper made the first save of the game to deny Samuel Chukwueze.
Winger Moses Simon could have put the Eagles ahead in the 23rd minute but wasted a glorious chance as he failed to score from close range after he was set up by Aribo with only the goalkeeper to beat.
