Habeeb Akinfegbe
The Super Eagles failed to take full advantage of the mammoth Kaduna crowd as they allowed the Pharaohs fight back late in the game to finish the match in a draw.
The first half was merely for both sides to settle as all the actions came in the second half. For most parts of the game, the Egyptians were on the back foot as the Eagles threw foray of attacks at the Pharaohs but poor finish was their greatest misfortune.
Nigeria grabbed the opening goal on the hour mark after a fine run by Moses Simon and a shot from Iheanacho which ricocheted off the woodwork before Oghenekaro finished from close range.
It already looked like it was done and dusted only for Mohammed Sallah to grab the very valuable equaliser.
The Super Eagles now have a big task in front of them as they gear up for the second leg billed for Alexandria. Egypt continues to lead with 7 points while Nigeria remained in second place on 5 points.
