Egypt 2-1 Nigeria Player Ratings: Mostafa Mohamed 8.1/10 Rated as the Pharaohs Defeat Super Eagles in a Close Encounter

Mostafa Mohamed scored the winning goal in the 54th minute to give Egypt a 2-1 victory over Nigeria in an international friendly game. Zizo set up both of Egypt's goals, first assisting Mahmoud Saber in the 29th minute before laying on the decisive second goal for Mostafa Mohamed in the 54th minute. Nigeria fought back hard with Chidozie Awaziem heading home an equalizer right before half-time to make it 1-1. The Nigeria National Football Team made four changes at the break to push for a comeback, bringing on fresh strikers and a new goalkeeper, but Egypt's quick finish after the restart proved too strong. Mohamed's calm finish in the box sealed the win for the Egypt National Football Team, who controlled the match better overall. Nigeria created chances but couldn't find another goal despite their attacking effort. This victory gives Egypt time to gel up before they begin their AFCON campaign, while Nigeria will need to bounce back in their next game. Here are Sportsdunia's Egypt vs Nigeria player ratings.
