“We faced a strong and well-organised team,” Nabih was quoted by Egypt Football Association official website.
“Our players delivered one of the most valuable and intense experiences from all technical, tactical, and physical aspects.
“They controlled the game and posed a real threat despite going behind early. They managed to respond well, and Kabaka scored the equaliser in the 68th minute with a brilliant strike following a lovely team move.
“We could have won, but missed several scoring chances before Nigeria scored their second from the penalty spot six minutes from time.”
