Benin vs. Egypt - January 05, 2026

This was my error. I mistakenly added the Egypt score to calculate Nigeria’s GD.

AS IT STANDS In the mini-league among the three teams They are each tied on 3 points Next tie-breaker is GD among the three teams Malawi entered on +1 and are now on -1 Zambia entered on -1 and are now on +1 Nigeria entered on 0 and are now on +1 GD Standings Nigeria +1 Zambia

Correct. At one point, I confused myself and added the goals from the Egypt game. I realized and made the correction

Neville 🇳🇬🇩🇪

@ColinUdoh There was no point thru out the match that Nigeria topped the group. We moved constantly btw 2nd and 3rd with malawi depending on goals. what was used ws goal difference & Zambia ws already +6 wit dia ist goal & remained top of d table thru out. Your analysis is wrong.

FT: Nigeria 6-2 Egypt Super Falcons finish second and join Malawi in the quarterfinals, where they will face auld enemies Cameroon #WAFCON2026
