"Nigerian football fans celebrated late into the night on Saturday after the Super Eagles defeated Egypt 4-2 on penalties to secure the bronze medal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Footage shows the stands of Stade Mohammed V packed with supporters, as Nigerian fans erupted in celebration following the penalty shootout victory. “I'm so glad, we did the best. Nigeria is the best team in Africa, you know, and deserves it. We've lost a penalty against Congo, against Morocco and this time we had to win it. So, I'm very happy,” one fan said. Egyptian fans, meanwhile, reacted with disappointment after their side finished fourth. “I'm definitely dissatisfied by the fourth place as Egyptian team should deserve better because the team is great legendary team, but I have nothing to say except that I'm delighted to be in Morocco and watch this respected and good organisation of the tournament,” one supporter said. Nigeria’s win secured third place in the tournament, allowing the Super Eagles to finish the competition with a bronze medal after a tightly contested encounter decided from the spot."
