AFCON 2017: Egypt Sure Of Group Ticket As Super Eagles Trail Pharoahs

Nigeria will have a huge mountain to climb when the qualifiers for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations resumes in March next year as Egypt, who are top of Group G of the qualifiers say they have no plans to relinquish top spot in the group.

The Super Eagles trail Egypt by two points after two match days with the Pharaohs of Egypt grabbing all maximum points so far in the qualifiers.

They defeated Chad 5-1 in N’Djamena last weekend and are aiming for Nigeria’s scalp when the double header takes centre stage next year.
