Nigeria super eagles have made a significant stride in their 2026 World Cup qualifying journey by defeating Rwanda with a convincing 2-0 victory on Friday night. This win not only boosts their confidence but also solidifies their position in the competition.
The match showcased Nigeria’s determination and skill, as they effectively controlled the game and capitalized on their opportunities. With this triumph, the Super Eagles are now well on their way to securing a spot in the prestigious tournament.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have kicked off their campaign under the new head coach Eric Chelle in an exciting match.
Victor Osimhen showcased his impressive form by netting two goals in the first half, further solidifying his reputation as a key player.
The prolific striker, who has been making waves this season with Galatasaray, started the scoring with a precise side-footed shot following a well-placed free-kick from Ademola Lookman.
Osimhen increased the Eagles’ advantage by stealing the ball at the center of the pitch and skillfully chipping it over the goalkeeper.
This win elevates the three-time African champions to third in their group, particularly following South Africa’s 2-0 victory over Lesotho.
However, Chelle’s team is preparing to face Zimbabwe next, with the match slated for Monday.
