Eagles and Egypt gameThe Pharaohs of Egypt made the road for Super Eagles in the African Cup of Nations slippery today when they held the home team to a one-one draw.

Oghenekaro Etebo’s 60th minute goal rekindled Nigeria’s hope of going atop Group G. The Eagles were running away with a victory, until the late minute strike by Mohammed Salah, the AS Roma star player, who took the wind out of Nigeria’s sail.

The Super Eagles need to beat the Pharaohs, Tuesday, in Egypt, to stand a chance to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations. [myad]
