AFCON 2025: Nigeria Vs Egypt Bronze Medal Match Live on DSTV and GOtv
Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign came to a heartbreaking end on Wednesday night after a 4–2 penalty shootout defeat to hosts Morocco in the semifinals. Earlier in Tangier, defending champions Senegal booked their place in Sunday’s final with a 2–1 victory over Egypt.
The Super Eagles, one of the tournament’s most prolific sides, struggled to create clear chances as Morocco controlled large spells of the contest.
Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali saved one penalty but misses from Samuel Chukwueze and Bruno Onyemaechi proved decisive at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
Senegal’s semifinal triumph was powered by Sadio Mané’s opener, an Egyptian equaliser, and a late winner that dashed Mohamed Salah’s hopes of lifting a second AFCON crown.
The results set up a mouthwatering AFCON 2025 final between Morocco and Senegal on Sunday at 9:00 pm, with the hosts buoyed by home support and defensive organization, while Senegal arrive with the confidence of knockout-stage experience and momentum from their title defence.
Nigeria and Egypt will contest the third-place playoff on Saturday at 6:00 pm in Casablanca, offering both sides the chance to finish on the podium. For Nigeria, the bronze medal match is an opportunity to bounce back from penalty disappointment after a campaign marked by strong defensive displays and emphatic victories.
Both matches will be broadcast live on the SuperSport AFCON dedicated channel (GOtv Ch. 59, DStv Ch. 202), with Open Access available to DStv Yanga and GOtv Jolli subscribers.
As AFCON 2025 reaches its climax, the spotlight now falls on whether Morocco can seal a historic home triumph or if Senegal will defend their continental crown, while Nigeria and Egypt aim to close on a high.
