Iheanacho, who scored the lone goal of the encounter, was favoured ahead the Egyptians tormentor-in-chief Moses Simon. He started the game in the striking position alongside Union Berlin’s Taiwo Awoniyi.
The striker will be aiming to increase his tally in the com- petition when the Nigerian side file out against Sudan on Saturday.
Iheanacho helped Leicester City to win the FA Cup last season.
