Nigeria’s Dream Team VI shared points with the Pharaohs of Egypt at the ongoing second group match of CAF African Cup of Nations in Senegalof after leading 2-0 up to the break. Nigeria’s two goals were scored via penalty.
Nigerian’s first goal came by a penalty wrongly awarded to Nigeria at the 19th minute of the match which was carefully converted by Etebo Oghenekaro.
Interestingly, at the 30th minutes of the match, Nigeria was awarded another penalty and was also taken by Etebo Oghenekaro.
At the end of the first half of the match, the scoreline remains Nigeria 2 : 0 Egypt, while the Egypt returned one goal at the 46th minute of the second half and equalising at the 50th minute, an indication that Nigeria’s defensive noticed in the first game vs Mali is yet to be fixed.
In the match against Mali, the Dream was lucky to run away with 3-2 advantage after the Malians cancelled two of three -goal lead, and was just unlucky not to have levelled up.
