Nigeria bronze medalist CAN. In the match for third place, the Super Eagles defeated Egypt in a penalty shootout 0:0 (4:2)

The main time was not enough for the teams to find the winner, so the fate of the bronze award was decided by a series of penalties. It is interesting that the Nigerians were able to score from the game, but the referee canceled the taking of the goal due to offside.

Nigerian goalkeeper Stanley became the hero in the penalty shootout. He took blows from the leaders of the Pharaohs: Salah and Marmush. In the end, the Nigerians win with a score of 4:2 and take the CAN bronze. This is already the 9th award for the Super Eagles.
