It was indeed a brilliant strike from Kelechi Iheanacho, that saw out the game and gave the West Africans a well-deserved lead.
Egypt had been tipped by pundits to be victorious, this was largely due to their star man, Salah, making the starting XI.
But a tactical masterclass from the Super Eagles interim coach Augustine Eguavoen, saw them dominate the affair.
Ndidi and Aribo dominated the midfield, and the attackers remained a huge threat all through the game.
Salah was limited to just one shot, missed a big chance, as he failed to carry the team as anticipated by many.
Egypt’s captain Mo Sallah was silent throughout the match managing only a shoot a goal.
