U20 AFCON:  Mozambique holds Egypt in opener 

By Olusola Adebayo 


Mozambique has picked their first-ever point in the U20 African Cup of Nations, U20 AFCON as they held the host, Egypt to a goalless draw in the 2023 opening match. 


The Mozambicans made their debut at the last edition but left the competition with no points.


Egypt failed to break the resilient defense of Mozambique despite enjoying the lion's share of possession of the ball 74% to 26% possession for Mozambique.


The draw is a chance for either the Flying Eagles of Nigeria or the Junior Teranga Lions of Senegal to take the lead in the group tagged 'Group of Death"  if the match ends in a win for either side as both teams face off later in the day, (6 pm kick-off )
