SIX 2019 AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS FACTS
- Nigerian Odion Ighalo, the former Watford striker, is a joint leading scorer with six goals, five of which came in home and away matches against Libya. He was absent in Nigeria’s 1-1 draw with South Africa, a situation that allowed Burundi’s Fiston Abdul Razak to tally with him after putting in four goals in a 5-2 away win against South Sudan on Saturday.
- Seychelles have the worst defence, leaking 22 goals, including 13 in duels with Libya.
- Only the Ugandans have not conceded in five matches of the series. South Africa eventually conceded a goal in their 1-1 home draw with Nigeria on Saturday.
- Egypt are the leading scorers with 15 goals, helped by six at home to Niger in a match where Liverpool star Mohamed Salah missed two penalties.
- Until their 2-3 loss to Egypt last Friday, Tunisia were only team boasting a 100 percent record having earlier beaten Egypt 1-0, eSwatini (formerly Swaziland) 2-0 and Niger 1-0 and 2-1 in Group J.
- Until last weekend when it recorded its first victory, a 3-1 win over already qualified Madagascar, Sudan, who hosted and won the 1970 Cup of Nations when it was an eight-team competition, and neighbours South Sudan lost all four qualifiers.
