— Egypt Finished 2nd, Behind Nigeria

Nigeria made history yesterday night when it defeated Guinea-Bissau 2-0 to finish their group campaign at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations with a 100 per cent win.

The goals came after a goalless first half from Umar Sadiq and William Troost-Ekong.

With these, the three-time African champions got nine points after three games in Group D.

With Mohamed Abdelmonem’s 35th-minute lone goal against Sudan, Egypt finished second, behind Nigeria, with six points.

Nigeria will play the third-best team from Group E or F in the round of 16 in Garoua on Sunday.
