Super Eagles head coach Austine Eguavoen has revealed how his side stopped Egypt captain Mohamed Salah in Tuesday night’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations Group D clash.
The Liverpool star failed to make much impact in the game with his side going down to a 1-0 defeat.
Much was expected from the forward following his superlative displays for Liverpool this season, but he was marked out of the game by the Super Eagles.
Eguavoen has now shed light on how his team tamed Salah in the game.
