AFCON Group D Table After Today’s Games As Nigeria Finish In 1st Position With Unbeaten Record.

The last group games between teams in group D of the AFCON tournament have been played today and it was Nigeria and Egypt who took all 3 points from their respective fixtures. Nigeria took on Guinea Bissau as they looked to finish top of the group ahead of second-placed Egypt who also needs a win today to cement their place in the knockout rounds of the tournament.

In the Super Eagles clash with Guinea Bissau today, Sadiq Umar and W. Troost Ekong were the goalscorers for Nigeria as they beat their opponents 2-0. Eguavoen made a host of changes to his starting lineup but that did not stop his team from taking all 3 points off the hands of the Guinea Bissau team. In Egypt’s game against Sudan, M. Abdelmoneim scored the only goal for the Egyptians as they ran out 1-0 winners tonight. Sudan thought they had scored an equaliser in the second half of the game only for VAR to rule out their goal.

So after the matches in Group D, here is what the table loos like with Nigeria sitting at the top.

Nigeria is already the early favourites to win the AFCON title in Cameroon come next month.
