Recating to the match, Okpala in an interview with Brila FM, stated that the Egypt, Nigeria match was the best as far as AFCON 2021.
“I really watched the opening game between Cameroon and Burkina Faso but the Eagles’ match still the best from all the games played so car in AFCON 2021.
“It looks like the Egyptians were a little bit not too good but that the way the Super Eagles players played made them look ordinary.”

Thus, the best match so far with quality standard in an African football, please the Super Eagles should avoid loosing ball too much as it gives rooms for the opponents to attack…keep doing well and then you come home with the cup.
