Egypt vs Nigeria result: Salah swallowed up by Super Eagles who open with 1-0 win.

After Monday's game between Morocco and Ghana saw the Atlas Lions come away with a 1-0 victory, we were treated to another matchup of expected title contenders, and the result showed one side is far more prepared to push for the crown than the other.
Liverpool superstar Salah was entirely locked down, with little to show for his 90-minute effort as Nigeria smothered the Egyptian playmaker. Kelechi Iheanacho's first-half goal proved the difference as Nigeria fended off a late Pharaohs push to claim all three points
