Nigeria breathed life into their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, thanks to a 2-0 win in Rwanda on Friday, March 21, 2025, night.
It was the Super Eagles first game under new head coach, Eric Chelle.
Victor Osimhen continued his hot streak in front of goal with a brace in the first half.
The striker who has shone this season for Galatasaray, opened the scoring with a side-footed finish from Ademola Lookman’s free-kick.
Osimhen doubled the Eagles’ advantage after stealing the ball on the halfway line and dinking it over the goalkeeper.
The result takes the three-time African champions up to third place in the group, following South Africa’s 2-0 win over Lesotho.
The Super Eagles will face Zimbabwe next on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo
