Nigeria’s Super Eagles have redirected their attention to the upcoming third-place match against Egypt’s Pharaohs, set to take place on Saturday at the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca.
The team arrived in Casablanca yesterday afternoon and engaged in a recovery training session that was open to the media. However, today’s training session will be conducted behind closed doors, as confirmed by the team’s media officer, Promise Efoghe.
The Super Eagles’ ambitions of clinching a fourth AFCON title were thwarted following a heart-wrenching penalty shootout defeat to Morocco in Rabat on Wednesday. After an intense match that ended goalless after both regular time and extra time, Morocco emerged victorious with a 4-2 win in penalties, with Yassine Bounou earning the Man of the Match accolade for his two crucial saves.
