AFCON 2021: Ihleanacho’s goal seals victory for Nigeria against Egypt
Nigeria have started their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a brilliant victory over Egypt on Tuesday.

AFCON 2021: “We had a lack of experience,” Burkina Faso captain says after defeat
Bertrand Traore has said that a lack of game management cost Burkina Faso a 2-1 defeat in their Africa Cup of Nations opener.

Traore set up the first goal of the match, delivering a brilliant cross that was converted by Gustavo Sangare in the middle of the first half. However, the team captain then clumsily brought down Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa to concede a penalty, which was superbly converted by Vincent Aboubakar. The host nation got another penalty opportunity to extend the scoreline when Issoufou Dayo slid in on Tolo. Aboubakar again made no mistake and managed to put his side in a commanding position for victory. Burkina F...
