Home-based Super Eagles have crashed out of the ongoing African Nations Championship, CHAN, following a 4-0 thrashing by Sudan on Tuesday, August 12, night.
The team, led by coach Eric Chelle, started their campaign with a 1-0 loss to defending champions Senegal last Tuesday.
The Nigerian men hoped to bounce back and gain hopes of advancing to the quarter-finals of the tournament, but were heavily beaten by Sudan.
Sudan got in the lead after an own goal by Leonard Ngenge on 25 minutes, doubled the lead in the 44th minute through Khedr penalty before a Raouf brace in the second half sealed Sudan’s triumph.
Nigeria remain at the bottom of Group D with zero point, and cannot make it past the group even if they are successful in their final match against Congo.
Senegal and Sudan are now on four points going into the matchday three fixtures, with Congo following on one point.
