Bad start for the young Pharaohs

Both goals came in the first half which witnesed a missed penalty from Wael Ryad. The goal scorers were Robert Akoari and Victor.

The Egyptian team had a good start and created many real chances but the forwards weren't up to the job. On the other side, the Nigerians were very effective in front of goal and made use of the poor marking from the Egyptian side.
