I am watching the African Cup of Nations third place game between Egypt and Nigeria. I won't watch the second half of the match because the Super Eagles are playing without some of their key players, and because of that, the match isn't interesting to watch. Egypt is dominating the Super Eagles in terms of ball possession, while the Super Eagles have more chances than Egypt, and the Super Eagles scored a goal, but it was disallowed because of a foul committed by Onuachu.
I am also watching it and was not too disappointed with the performance of the Super Eagles. Even with the absence of some key players they are giving the Pharaohs. Nigeria have had two goals disallowed. The first disallowed goal was controversial. The second one was a clear offside. The second half is far better; the Super Eagles' attack is doing a good job. The removal of Victor Onunchu is bearing fruit, he was sluggish up front.
Yes, the Super Eagles still performed well against Egypt even though they played without some of their key players. In my humble opinion, the Super Eagles' first goal against Egypt should have stood, but I don't know why VAR decided to cancel the goal. I didn't continue the match in the second half, just like I said in my previous post, so I don't know that the Super Eagles improved their performance in the second half, but thanks for letting me know.
