AFCONMohamed Salah's Egypt open campaign with Nigeria defeat
Mohamed Salah's Egypt began their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 1-0 loss to Nigeria on Tuesday afternoon.
The Liverpool forward played all of the contest in Garoua, Cameroon but was unable to help Carlos Queiroz's side avoid defeat in the Group D opener.
Kelechi Iheanacho's well-taken finish after 30 minutes was enough to give Nigeria the three points.
