00:00They will return to their clubs, they will be fighting their different battles
00:07and then 2026 World Cup year of course.
00:16Nigeria to kick us off there in the green.
00:18Egypt in their traditional red colors with the white shorts.
00:23Karl eventually going in favor of Mustafa Mohamed.
00:26French base play, take it very quickly, Trezeguet on the left, early ball inside.
00:31Noa Bali is down, collects comfortably.
00:33Yeah, the Nigerian me feel wet asleep for a split of a second
00:36and the Egyptian tried to take advantage of it, was right there.
00:45The goalkeeper of course came into the picture just before the start.
00:49Now Simon to do some teasing again, gets the early ball in.
00:59Asking for an explanation as well.
01:01I sure got a touch to the head there.
01:16That's a good ball.
01:18Sorby delivers, back post chance for a header.
01:21That's a good ball up to Adams.
01:26Using his strength, referee says play on, nothing untoward there.
01:30Adams gets the shot in.
01:32A little bit of a deflection and fairly comfortable for Shubir.
01:36That's what he brought into the front three in this tournament.
01:39The same doing in his club, you know, throughout.
01:42Mostafa Mohamed is the progress here for Zizou.
01:46Salah.
01:48It's a beautiful ball.
01:49Out comes Nobale, a little unconventional with that save.
01:53No, no.
01:54First.
01:55Chequezu now with possession for Nigeria.
01:59Left footed, little chip inside.
02:02Looking for the big power for Nigeria.
02:05You'll remember, had the lead in that game and then it ended.
02:092-1 in favor of the host nation.
02:13Here's Moses Simon now.
02:16Salah will take the set piece.
02:20Here's Ashur.
02:22Zizou.
02:23Looks up.
02:24Crosses.
02:26Still bobbing around in there.
02:27This might be an opportunity.
02:31And Ashur on the left.
02:33Sobby on the overlap.
02:34Good running from the left back.
02:36Squares it in, but not strong enough.
02:38Zizou.
02:41Is he thinking about the shot?
02:44Honey now.
02:45Unmarked.
02:46Gets the square ball in.
02:47Wabali doesn't control.
02:49And Salah from a very, very tight angle.
02:53Can see what they're trying to do there.
02:56It's what they're doing with Ashur, you know, on the left side.
02:59Now they've gone to the right side and doing the same.
03:01And that was a beautiful.
03:02A couple of new players added to the Super Eagles squad on the eve of this tournament.
03:07Remember, they played Egypt actually in a warm-up friendly on the 14th of December.
03:11Mets, uh...
03:12Keli Bashiru in the middle.
03:13Nice ball out wide.
03:14Left-hand side now.
03:15Nigeria have got three big men in the middle.
03:16That's far too close to Shobit.
03:17Ashur.
03:18Ashur.
03:19Bit of space here for Khaled Sobe.
03:21Now the cross inside.
03:22And once again, you're going to have to produce something special if you want to beat the Nigerians.
03:27I was blamed.
03:28I was still blamed.
03:29First touch for Zizou.
03:31Out wide.
03:32here's Hany.
03:33Saele waits in the middle, cross to the back post.
03:36It's too long for Mustafa Muhammad.
03:45Promising opportunity there.
03:51Overcooked
03:52by..
03:54Nigeria, of course, unbeaten in seven.
03:56Third-place playoffs.
03:59in seven third place playoffs and they should have had the opener there
04:03chikwesi safe from shobi still a chance
04:10he's got another one this akko adams is a name for the future
04:19yeah the name that i've come to stay the future pull out from uh
04:23that was the header from chikwesi you can see chikwesi now control the boy lift his head up
04:29and then he saw oh the goal i think the goal will go for an archer oh yes he gets a touch
04:36you got a touch you are 100 right the goal will go for an archer there i'll
04:40call celebrate but at the end of the day after the game an archer will know that that's his goal
04:44because it actually said shobi going the wrong way look at the deflection on that there we go
04:49and that's the egyptian appeal for offside but
04:59now was there an elbow in there says hossam hassan well this is obviously all being checked by var
05:04there is a a break which is injury enforced we're not suggesting this is a var break but uh
05:10in the face of fatty he could be in a bit of trouble here yeah not just the the
05:18the elbow but if he gets away with it he will be definitely a lucky boy has been told uh to butt
05:24out he certainly is a man who uh has a word and now what card is there this could be a yellow that's
05:31a little bit of a lucky let off yeah
05:33so he takes it takes a little bit of a deflection
05:45and i'll say i'll keep a close eye on him it's going to be uh half time here at uh muhammad sank
05:55stadium in casablanca
05:57so just the single chain so far but you wonder whether the likes of omar mamush on the egyptian
06:07side is an option for hossam hassan or is he going to let the player go back to his club manchester city
06:15with uh out an extra game in his legs this is given away for chikwezu this might be a good early start
06:21for the nigerians adam's shopping comes out and it's flicked on and into the back of the net
06:27and the finger started the the half very strong you can see it's a 100 percent upside yes oka oka adams
06:35that's fairly comfortably cleared away by rabia now long-range shot bit of power
06:47on your dick is looking like uh he's getting a bit frustrated and impatient
06:56all over the top finds look man simon simon with a shot
07:02oh suddenly uh this half time change is uh filled nigeria with a lot more energy yeah good energy
07:11but that for me is the wrong decision because uh ocai was had a beautiful run behind lachine to sobby
07:19here's trezeguet long-range shots never gonna trouble noabali ah that's no way it's gonna beat
07:26to wabali from uh now a positive moment for egypt yes ashore gets the shot in on the left foot well
07:37wide a target on yediko with a nice pass chikwezu look at the overlapping run here never mind the fact
07:44they don't have a right back they don't have a right back for the moment so chasing now that right
07:48right hand side loose ball all
07:59right tail super fast between noabali dangeria on the attack it we'll be simons
08:07a call takes a deflection corner it will be
08:10to Salah. Mohamed. Marmush is in there as well. Mohamed shoots. Rabali saves. Flag was up.
08:21Well, if he left that Mohamed for Sabet, who was coming from an onside position,
08:28there might have been a chance, but he was definitely offside.
08:32It's Sobhi who's playing today on the left-hand side. Look at Ashuri started that build-up
08:37and he's running on to what was the final ball forward from the Egyptians.
08:44He's a player with a lot of energy. That's an impressive engine.
08:47Yeah. They're ready to pull the trigger and you pushed him. So what do you call that?
08:51That should definitely be a penalty. Now Iwobi gets the cross in. Can they still win this in?
08:58Simon. Good run in there from Lukman. Didn't find him though.
09:03There's the cross. Shobir keeping his eyes on the ball. Collects comfortably.
09:08Sometimes the frustration you've been on the bench knowing that you should have been on the finish field earlier
09:13and then they kept you just waiting for you to kick the penalty.
09:16Chance here. Taking no chance.
09:20Salah takes it into the wall.
09:31Play continues and the referee decides that's enough.
09:34So 90 minutes in this third place playoff.
09:38No goals and the bronze medal still to be decided. Penalties coming up.
09:43Nigeria to get matters underway with Dele Bashiru, the midfielder from Lazio in Italy to take the first kick.
09:54Right-footed efforts.
09:57He delivers here for the Egyptians.
10:01Noabali makes a very fine save.
10:04A belated lead here in the shootout.
10:06Adams against Shobiru, up against Noabali.
10:11Mahmush saved again!
10:15The outstrand...
10:16Didi out injured.
10:20Moses Simon.
10:21What is Rami Rabia going to do?
10:23This looks like he's going to thrash it as hard as he possibly can.
10:27Up against Noabali.
10:30Is he edging Nigeria closer?
10:32Alex Iwobi.
10:33Nigeria on the cusp of bronze medals.
10:36Sabah looking to keep Egypt in the race.
10:38And he...
10:38All the Super Eagles.
10:41Right-footed efforts from the Atalatama.
10:45Nigeria have won the bronze medals at the Africa Cup of Nations.
10:50Penalty success after the goal is draw with Nigeria...
10:54With Egypt rather.
10:55And the Super Eagles finish third.
10:58They finish to that as a beautiful stroke.
11:01You know, penalty from Lukman.
11:03Like you did directly ask me.
11:04Like you did directly ask me.
11:06If you want the player to step up to win it, who?
11:09And then you can see the quality.
11:11You know, in that penalty that it took.
11:13And rightly, you can see the whole bench.
11:16The whole team where they ran to.
11:17They went to Lukman.
11:18Their set was up for one second.
11:20And they headed to Wambini.
11:21Because he is the man that gave Nigeria the bronze medal.
11:24Two wonderful saves from the goalkeeper set the platform.
11:29The Nigerian outfield players did.
11:31a lot of the time.
11:32Well, seriously, they were crazy.
11:33I mean, you're going to be right in bed now.
11:34Thanks for having the Alderman doll.
11:35Thanks for having me plair to join them this weekend.
11:39Can I watch you?
11:41And after home the archess was up for all the past company.
11:43I've done my job for a quick ride.
