Head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has claimed it would have been difficult for him to continue if they lost to Egypt.
Nigeria played out a 0-0 draw with the Pharaohs in the third-place clash at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The game went straight to penalties, where Stanley Nwabali kept out the efforts of Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, to ensure the Eagles won 4-2.
