AFCON 2025: Super Eagles Defeat Egypt To Win Third-Place Playoff

Nigeria banished their penalty shoot-out demons, as they defeated Egypt via spot-kicks to win the bronze medal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles had lost to hosts Morocco via penalties in the semi-final.

And against the Pharoahs, the game had to be decided from 12 yards, after it ended 0-0 after 90 minutes.

There was no extra time in the match.

During the shoot-out, Stanley Nwabali proved to be the hero of the day, as he saved from Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush.

Nigeria eventually ran out 4-2 winners, clinching the bronze medal for a record ninth time.

The final will be played tomorrow between Morocco and Senegal
