Nigeria vs Egypt – The Super Eagles actually care about the 'Golden Bronze' so it won't be a formality

There is nothing more disappointing for two giants of African football, with 10 titles between them, than having to contest the bronze medal game when the final was within touching distance.

But that is the case for Nigeria and Egypt, two behemoths of the continental game, fresh off painful defeats to Morocco and Senegal respectively. They will clash in Casablanca on Saturday afternoon.

Of the two, Nigeria will feel most hard done by after their defeat on penalties against the hosts, considering their performances at the competition prior to that game, where they actually did really well.

Live! Egypt vs Nigeria for Third Place at AFCON 2025

Sometimes, the third-place playoff in a tournament can be a low-key affair between two teams either celebrating an unexpected run in the tournament, or with sides desperately wanting to be on the plane home.

Saturday’s clash between Egypt and Nigeria live on beIN SPORTS feels different. It has the sense of a match between two giants of African football that have some unfinished business to work through.

Although Egypt was eliminated by Senegal by just the single goal and a moment of magic from Sadio Mané, the Pharaohs will be feeling frustrated that they never came close to fulfilling their potential in the match.

Egypt v Benin: Africa Cup of Nations last 16 – live

âš½ Seven-time champions Egypt continue campaignâš½ Get in touch: email Taha about the game

61 min: Benin finally have a chance to wheel the ball around â€¦ before Ouorou miscues horribly on the right wing.

59 min: Time for some tweaks. Ashour replaces TrÃ©zÃ©guet and Zizo replaces Ibrahim Adel.

55 min: Nearly for Egypt. The ball breaks for Rabia in the six-yard box, he slams in a strike but Dandjinou makes himself massive; the ball then deflects off Ouorou, on the line, leading to another Egypt corner. Somehow Benin survive.

54 min: Salah slides in a pass for Hany to latch on to, and the right wing-back wins a corner for Egypt.

Egypt vs Benin live updates: AFCON 2025 latest score with match goalless after fine Dandjinou save

Mohamed Salah's Egypt are battling Benin in the AFCON 2025 round of 16 in Agadir today.

Forward Omar Marmoush wasted a one-on-one opportunity before his poke was cleared off the line.

Egypt defender Mohamed Hamdy was carried off on a stretcher after appearing to suffer a knee injury.

In the second half, Marcel Dandjinou made a superb save to deny Ramy Rabia from very close range.

Benin have marked him tightly and aggressively, and even though he is not having his best game, he has still managed to play some lovely through balls in this first hour of the game.

And it is sparked by another injury as Trezeguet limps off. Joining him in heading off is Ibrahim Adel.
