How Revitalized Nigeria Beat Egypt........

[Enugu II]

But Egypt's hopes did not materialize against Nigeria. Instead, it was the West Africans that were on the front foot for the most part. Moses Simon, explosive down the flank, was a nightmare for Egypt as he tormented Egypt repeatedly.

But Egypt, completely under the Cush, recovered gradually as Nigeria appeared to tire. It was only then that the clustered Salah made an appearance. Egypt had played Salah centrally attempting to take advantage of his speed over the slow-paced Nigerian central defense but with Nigeria's pressure on the ball, Salah had seen very few opportunities.

Firing Rohr was the best thing we could have done. It looks like the gamble has paid off. Best SE game since beating Cameroon 4-0.

It is, and was NOT a gamble. His antics were apparent to the discerning even before WC 2018. He should have been fired after the WC 2018 Argentina game. Pinnick, and Rohr engaged in 419 against the Nigerian people, and global fans of the SuperEagles.

Even without Osimhen. I said there is enough talent to win Afcon. I know my people. Never ever under estimate Nigeria.

I said that playing this tournament without Osimehn is a blessing in disguise. We were too reliant for him, and we need to figure out who our other options are.

more like lack of confidence considering who our coach was at the time, if he was in the team it would have just been him instead of Awoniyi and it might have been a different scoreline

Before the tournament, this looked to be an AFCON too early for Nigeria's current generation to win, but such was the convincing and (relatively) controlled manner of their victory over Egypt, perhaps they are right on time.

Few nations in the competition have a central midfield pairing on par with Wilfred Ndidi and Joe Aribo. If Augustine Eguavoen can solve some teething problems around the final third then the "outside" chance of Nigeria triumphing in this tournament could get a little less outside
