Ehab Galal, Egypt's goalkeeping coach at the AFCON U-20 tournament has cried over what he explaimed as the Fielding of overage players by Nigeria and some other African countries at the AFCON.

Egypt suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Flying Eagles in their second group match through a ferocious header from defender Solomon Agbalaka; the host will go on to finish bottom of the group by suffering a shocking 4-0 defeat at the hands of Senegal on their last match of the group.

Ehab is convinced that Nigeria and Senegal were able to defeat the Young Pharaohs because they paraded players with falsified ages.

He went as far as calling out Solomon Agbalaka (Flying Eagles' no3) and Senegal’s goalkeeper Landing Badji.

“Most African teams have players who are over the age required to be able to play this competition,” Galal told Wiwsports and was quoted by ScoreNigeria

“These teams have many players with fake ages. The Senegalese goalkeeper, for example, seems older, as well as Nigeria’s number 3 player (Solomon Agbalaka) who seems too old, and other players from Nigeria.”
