Niger pipped Egypt 1-0 in their Group D opening 2021 AFCON tie, thanks to Kelechi Iheanacho’s first-half goal.

Speaking on Supersport, Okocha, a former Super Eagles captain, said Augustine Eguavoen’s men played well against Egypt, adding that the three times African champions have matured.

“The team played well and I’m not surprised because they have been together for a long time. It shows that they have mature with the way they played against Egypt,” Okocha said.
