Augustine Eguavoen&#8217;s men followed that triumph with a 3-1 romp past Sudan on January 15.<\/p>\n<p>And at the Stade Roumd\u00e9 Adjia in Garoua, they became the only team to win all three pool stage matches.<\/p>\n<p>The latest success was a clinical 2-0 dismissal of Guinea Bissau who were aiming for the three points to put them among the candidates to advance to the knockout stages as one of the four best third-placed teams.<\/p>\n<p><b>Process<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a young team,&#8221; said Guinea Bissau coach Baciro Cand\u00e9. &#8220;We had players out with Covid for the first match. I was also out with Covid but we managed to draw.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But after that we&#8217;ve lost. We&#8217;ll go away and look at what we&#8217;ve done well and see what we need to do to be better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eguavoen&#8217;s squad saunters on though. For all his pre-match talk of keeping his foot on the pedal, the former Nigeria international left the three goalscorers from Saturday&#8217;s game against Sudan on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>The tactical switch meant a place in the starting line-up for the Almeria striker Umar Sadiq and midfielder Chidera Ejuke. Both excelled. Ejuke was a spry conduit between defence and attack and Sadiq slotted in the opener 10 minutes into the second-half.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chance<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He came on as a substitute in the first two games and couldn&#8217;t find his feet for whatever reasons,&#8221; said Eguavoen after the game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But he performed well in those brief appearances and we wanted him to start the match to see how he would react rather than coming on. I think he did very well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Skipper William Troost-Ekong stabbed in the second 10 minutes from time to destroy Guinea Bissau&#8217;s dream of a place in the knockout stages.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday in Garoua, Nigeria will play one of the teams who finished third for a place in the last eight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot off people thought that Nigeria couldn&#8217;t win the tournament for the simple reason that our performances over the last few months havent been that good,&#8221; added Eguavoen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After three wins, people are starting to respect Nigeria but we&#8217;re not going to let that go to our head.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll always respect our opponent and we&#8217;ll take the same approach in the last-16 as we have done in the last three matches.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt reach last 16 with Sudan win<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Egypt edged past Sudan to finish second in group D and qualify for the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Abdelmonem scored the game&#8217;s only goal, heading home Abdallah El Said&#8217;s corner for the Pharaohs in the 35th minute.<\/p>\n<p>Sudan offered little with Egypt going close to a second through a Mohamed Salah effort well-saved by keeper Ali Abu Eshrein in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt will face the winners of Group E on Wednesday, 26 January.<\/p>\n<p>They finished three points behind Group D winners Nigeria who beat Guinea-Bissau 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>Sudan, champions in 1970 and playing in their first major tournament since 2012, finished third in the table, collecting one point and scoring just one goal.<\/p>\n<p>Seven-time winners Egypt have now reached the knockout stages in five of their past six appearances at the Nations Cup.<\/p>\n<p>They came into this fixture knowing a draw would be enough to secure their progression while Sudan needed victory to keep their hopes alive.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Queiroz&#8217;s side dominated from the off with forward Mostafa Mohamed seeing his first-half header stopped by Sudan goalkeeper Mustafa.<\/p>\n<p>And once the Pharaohs took the lead they continued to boss proceedings, with Mustafa equal to another Mostafa Mohamed effort just before half-time.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool forward Salah also went close, forcing Sudan&#8217;s substitute keeper Abu Eshrein into another good save with a low shot after 58 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>And Salah then set up Amr el Solia moments later but the midfielder could only blaze an effort over the bar from close range.<\/p>\n<p>In the closing stages, Sudan had a flurry of half-chances, but ultimately Egypt stayed strong to claim all three points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
