NileSports’s live coverage for the 2nd leg match between Egypt and Nigeria in the 4th round of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers group stage.
Despite the current crowd ban in Egypt, the Pharaohs will be boosted by the presence of 40,000 supporters when they host Nigeria at Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria.
Seven-time African champions Egypt secured a precious 1-1 draw away to Nigeria that kept them at the top of their group in the qualifiers.
The valuable draw put Egypt in a comfortable position before they host the Super Eagles in the second of a double-header at Alexandria’s Borg El-Arab Stadium tonight.
Hector Cuper: “we are only looking for a win”
Egypt coach Hector Cuper was heavily criticized for his cautious approach in the first leg, but he confirmed on Sunday that his men would adopt an attacking strategy this time.
“We will try to create more goal-scoring opportunities and be better than in Friday’s game, as we are only looking for a win,” he said.
“The attendance of fans will give us an edge. It will be different in Alexandria [than in Kaduna],” the Argentinean added.
