In a bid to be part the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Super Eagles went up against Rwanda at the Godswill Apkabio stadium Uyo, Akwa Ibom, securing a crucial 1-0 victory against the visitors.
Nigeria were fortunate to secure three points making its dreams to play in the FIFA 2026 World Cup more realistic.
The only goal of the Tolu Arokodare, the wolves latest signing showed resilience as he scored in the 51st minute of the game ,not wasting time after been subbed in ,got the ball at the back of the net.
The game looked like a hard nut to crack as the game had a sloppy start, the Super Eagles fore front man Victor Osimhen fell to injury and was substituted for Cyril Dessers.
This win pushes Nigeria to 10 points from 7 matches in group C.The win is encouraging for the fans but the players need to do more .
The Super Eagles would be facing South Africa in their next game, which iis vital for their qualifications.
The players would need to show zeal and commitment, because the game against South Africa wouldn’t be a Walk over.
The last Eagles’ encounter with the Bafana Bafana was won by penalties after the game was draw at full time.
Coach Eric Chelle was a bit shaky in his substitution and knowing his first 11.
Hopefully the coach would be able to make necessary changes before the next match.
