Egypt depended heavily on Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah, recently shortlisted for the FIFA Best Player award.

The coach commended the gallantry of the Super Eagles, saying the good performance will be replicated in subsequent matches.

He said, “Egypt is a well-respected team; we respect them, but we’ve players who should be respected too.

Three precious points was the reward for the Eagles, as they look forward to their second match of the competition against Sudan’s Falcons of Jediane on Saturday.

Super Eagles interim coach Augustine Eguavoen speaking during the post-match interview said Nigerian players cut Egypt captain, Mohamed Salah, off the ball to record victory on Tuesday.

The match marked Nigeria’s 94th match at the Africa Cup of Nations, and her 51st win, having drawn 22 matches and lost 21. On their part, it was Egypt 101st match at the AFCON, during which they had won 57 matches, drawn 17 and lost 27.

Nigeria is led to AFCON 2021 by Augustine Eguavoen, who was on-field captain when the Eagles won the title in Tunisia in 1994, and then coached the Eagles to third place in Egypt 12 years later.

In 2004, he was assistant to Coach Christian Chukwu when the Eagles picked up the bronze medals in Tunisia.

Soft-spoken but tactically astute, Eguavoen is the only man to have coached Nigeria to win all three group phase matches at the AFCON – when they defeated Ghana, Zimbabwe and Senegal in Port Said at the 2006 finals in Egypt. His team also bundled out Cup holders Tunisia after a pulsating penalty shootout in the quarter-finals.
