After a disappointing first game, the Flying Eagles of Nigeria got back to winning ways as they defeated Egypt with a lone goal from Solomon Agbalaka. The win handed the Flying Eagles their first win at the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.

The deciding goal came in the 71st minute after Aminu Muhammadu’s corner kick was nodded powerfully by Agbalaka. With the win, the Flying Eagles have now moved from the bottom position on the table to second.
Egypt dominated the opening exchanges but the Flying Eagles improved later in the game.

Ladan Bosso’s side finished the first half the better side but failed to carve out any real goal-scoring opportunities.

Egypt regained control of the game after the break as they looked to impress the sparse crowd at the Cairo International Stadium.

Nigeria goalkeeper, Chijioke Anigboso produced two superb saves to deny the Young Pharaohs in the 63rd and 65th minutes respectively.

Left-back Agbalaka then popped in with the winner from a great header 19 minutes from time.

The Flying Eagles will face Mozambique in their last group game on Saturday knowing that a win will guarantee them a place in the quarter-finals.

Here is the disappointing loss to Senegal:
