Egypt 0-0 Nigeria Live Score, AFCON 2025: Mo Salah Starts; Pharaohs Meet Super Eagles In Third-Place Battle

Salah is in the act right from the get go, delivering crucial passes in the final third and creating chances. Nothing threatening enough to trouble the Nigerian goalie yet, however.

Play is underway in Casablanca, with Nigeria kicking from left to right and Egypt the other way in the first half. The Pharaohs' star forward Mohamed Salah is starting this game, in the quest for the consolation prize. His Merseyside future remains uncertain after the explosive comments he made against Arne Slot and the top management last year. Liverpool, meanwhile lead 1-0 against Burnley in the Premier League.

Nigeria and Egypt meet for the 10th time at the Africa Cup of Nations, with the Super Eagles winning five of the previous nine encounters. Nigeria have won all eight AFCON third-place matches they have contested, while Egypt have lifted the bronze medal three times in their history.

This is how Egypt and Nigeria line up tonight:

Michael Carrick is off to a flying start as Manchester United head coach with a 2-0 win against Manchester City at Old Trafford in the Premier League. Second-half goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu seal the win, with United fans singing in full voice and drowning out their fierce cross-city rivals.
