Nigeria Fails To Qualify For AFCON After Loss To Egypt. by smartpassivebiz: 2:25pm On Mar 30, 2016 |
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will not be competing in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Gabon after losing to the Pharaohs of Egypt by a score of 1-0 in Alexandria on Tuesday. Nigeria needed to defeat Egypt in order to qualify for AFCON after Friday’s match against them ended in a 1-1 draw. Tuesday’s match gave the Pharaohs a 5-point lead in Group G. Egypt’s 19-year-old Ramadan Sobhy scored the loan goal of the match in the 64th minute, securing the Pharaohs a spot in the 2017 edition of AFCON after missing the last three contests. The Super Eagles, who failed to qualify for the 2015 edition, had their position in Group G impacted after Chad dropped out of the tournament. Chad’s withdrawal gave Group G an uneven number of teams (Nigeria, Egypt, and Tanzania), allowing only one team to advance. As a result of the withdrawal, all results of matches against Chad were nullified. The Super Eagles had defeated Chad 2-0. After Tuesday’s match, Egypt stands on top of the Group G standings with 7 points. Nigeria trails with 2 points, while Tanzania sits in last with 1 point. source: http://www.exclusivemaxim.com/2016/03/nigeria-fails-to-qualify-for-afcon.html |
