Sunday Mba gave Nigeria the lead in the 15th minute, but the Egyptians equalised through Ahmed Temsah. They then went in front with a Mohamed Aboutreika penalty.
Ejike Uzoenyi who was a constant menace in the game then found space to cross for Uche. The Enyimba man still found the net spectacularly, despite being off balance.
The game was heading for a draw until Ahmed Hassan Mekki struck in the dying moments. It was a fine goal, which was the end product of a 30-pass move.
Stephen Keshi will take a lot of positives from his first loss as the coach of the team and some of the electric performances from the local lads.
