The Super Eagles of Nigeria ended their AFCON 2025 campaign on a high note after defeating Egypt on penalties to secure third place in the tournament.

The third-place playoff, played on Saturday, ended 0–0 after regulation time, with both sides cancelling each other out in a tense and physical encounter. As stipulated by CAF rules, the match went straight into a penalty shootout, where Nigeria emerged victorious 4–2.

Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali was the standout performer on the night, making two crucial penalty saves to swing the shootout in Nigeria’s favour. The Super Eagles kept their composure from the spot, with Ademola Lookman calmly converting the decisive kick to seal the bronze medal.

Despite missing key striker Victor Osimhen, who had earlier left the camp due to injury, Nigeria showed resilience and tactical discipline against a determined Egyptian side led by Mohamed Salah.

Throughout the game, Nigeria enjoyed better spells of possession and created the clearer chances, but Egypt’s defence stood firm, forcing the contest into penalties after 90 minutes of goalless action.

The victory continues Nigeria’s strong tradition in AFCON third-place matches, further reinforcing their reputation as consistent podium finishers on the continental stage.

For the Super Eagles, the win provides a morale boost after their semi-final disappointment and allows them to bow out of the tournament with pride and momentum.

1. Nigeria now turn attention to post-tournament recovery and preparations ahead of future international assignments, while Egypt will reflect on missed opportunities after falling short in the shootout.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has left the Nigerian camp in Morocco after sustaining an injury, as Nigeria turn their attention to the AFCON 2025 third-place playoff against Egypt.

The Galatasaray forward reportedly picked up the injury during Nigeria’s semi-final defeat, after which he was assessed by the Super Eagles medical team. Following further examination, it was decided that Osimhen should return to Turkey to continue his treatment under the supervision of his club.

A source close to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed that the decision was taken purely on medical grounds, with the player’s health and long-term fitness given top priority.

> *“Osimhen has been released from the camp to receive proper medical attention. The decision was taken in the best interest of the player,”* a team official disclosed.

Osimhen has been one of Nigeria’s key performers at AFCON 2025, leading the attack with his energy, physical presence, and goal threat. His absence will be felt as the Super Eagles prepare for their third-place match against Egypt, scheduled for today.

1. Head coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to reshuffle his attacking options, with other forwards now tasked with stepping up as Nigeria aim to end the tournament on a positive note.

Despite missing out on a place in the final, the Super Eagles remain focused on securing a bronze-medal finish and giving the fans something to cheer about before the curtain falls on their AFCON 2025 campaign.
