Salah and Marmoush forgiven
Nigeria remains a bronze medal specialist at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Super Eagles reached third place for the ninth time on Saturday evening in Casablanca against Egypt with a 4-2 penalty shootout. No goals were scored during the game, which is why the decision between the two tournament favorites had to come from the spot.
Nigeria keeper Stanley Nwabali became a hero when he parried against Egyptian top stars Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush. It didn’t matter that Fisayo had also forgiven Dele-Bashiru. Atalanta star Ademola Lookman scored the decisive goal as Nigeria’s fifth scorer.
The Africa Cup final will take place on Sunday evening between Senegal and hosts Morocco at 8:00 p.m.
