The 2019 AFCON continues its knockout stage today with the hosts in action against South Africa.
Egypt’s path to this stage has been without blemish. Winning all three games and not conceding a goal.
They finished top of their group whereas the South Africans were third in their group. Nigeria will also face Cameroon today.
Nigeria and Cameroon have eight trophies between them. Cameroon with five and Nigeria with three.
The stakes are high for the Cameroon side which has failed to get the much needed goals and a Nigerian side that needs to make a strong statement after their shocking defeat to debutants Madagascar.
