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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

So after the matches in Group D, here is what the table loos like with Nigeria sitting at the top. <\/p>\n

Nigeria is already the early favourites to win the AFCON title in Cameroon come next month.<\/p>\n
