Egypt vs Nigeria LIVE: AFCON third-place play-off match stream, latest score, goal updates and fan reaction | OneFootball

The penultimate fixture of Africa Cup of Nations 2025 will see Egypt and Nigeria face off in the third-place play-off. Both teams suffered the heartbreak of defeat in the semi-final on Wednesday, but can still end the tournament on a positive note by securing a podium finish and a bronze medal.

This is a seventh AFCON third-place play-off for Egypt, who narrowly lost out to Senegal in their last-four showdown, but they have not won this fixture since 1974, losing on their last three appearances including against Nigeria 49 years ago when the tournament ran under a different format.

The Super Eagles, meanwhile, are protecting a proud record of never losing this particular fixture in eight previous attempts, though they will be without key defender Calvin Bassey at the Stade Mohammed V this afternoon because of suspension and Victor Osimhen's hopes of claiming the golden boot award are in doubt as an ankle injury sustained in the penalty shootout defeat against host nation Morocco means he is named on the bench today.
