Nigeria played a 2 – 2 draw with the Pharaohs. Oghenekaro Etebo converted two penalties in quick succession for handball decisions in the first half but the Pharaohs equalised early in the second half with two quick goals of their own.
The Egyptians are filing a complaint against the referee for giving a penalty due to a handball but replays showed it hit a defender’s knee.
According to kingfut.com, Egyptian FA board member Hamada Al Masry the complaint will be filed due to “wrong decisions” by the referee during the encounter.
Egypt are third in group B with two points and will take on Mali on Saturday while second on the table Nigeria on four points take on Algeria in the final group game.
Egypt must win to stand a chance of qualifying for the semi-final of the U-23 Cup of Nations.
