Egypt have toppled the Super Eagles as
Group G leaders after the Pharaohs defeated
Chad 5-1 in Ndjamena in their 2017 Africa
Cup of Nations qualifier on Sunday.
A hat-trick from Basem Morsi (second, 25th
and 62nd minutes) and a goal each from
Mohammed Sallah and Mahmoud Kahraba
secured the win for the seven-time African
champions.
With the win, Egypt now have six points, two
points ahead of the Super Eagles who are
on four points.
Both countries will meet in March 2016 when
the Eagles will host the Pharoahs in the first
of their double-header.
Chad and Tanzania will square off against
each other in the group’s other games.
The Super Eagles failed to qualify for this
year’s AFCON in Equatorial Guinea.
Egypt themselves have failed to qualify for
the last three editions (2012, 2013 and
2015) after their 2010 triumph in Angola.
