Premier Soccer League Overview

After falling to beat Morocco in the post-match penalties in the semi-final, this time around, the Super Eagles were sharp as they outclassed the Pharaohs. The West Africans clinched a record-extending AFCON bronze medal following their win over Salah-led Egypt. Now that the battle for bronze has been settled, all eyes are on the ultimate prize, which will be contested for on Sunday between Senegal and the hosts, Morocco.

GOAL gives you the details to follow the Pharaohs and Super Eagles' third-place clash at Stade Mohamed V on Saturday. Both teams failed to reach the final and they are now embroiled in the fight for bronze to salvage some respect after they were touted as tournament favourites. None would want to lose a second successive match at this tournament.

The hosts put up a dominant display on Friday night at the Prince Moulay Stadium in Rabat, sending their opponents home after collecting a narrow 2-1 win over Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana in the Round of 16 fixture. The Atlas Lions, who possess a massive quality, are chasing their first continental glory since 1976.

The Super Eagles, who have won the competition three times - 1980 when they hosted it, 1994 in Tunisia, and 2013 in South Africa, were in a class of their own against Os Mambas in a Round of 16 assignment played at the Fez Stadium on Monday night. It was a game they needed to win as they chase their fourth crown, having come close in 2023.
