Nigeria’s Super Eagle has cruised into round 16 at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after beating Sudan 3-1 at the Stade Roumdé Adjia in Garoua, Cameroon.
During the game on Saturday, January 15, 202, Samuel Chukwueze set the ball rolling for the Super Eagles in the third minute from a Moses Simon pull-back.
Nigeria doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time when the ball went in off Taiwo Awoniyi and Simon rolled in a third straight after half-time.
Walieldin Khedr pulled a goal back for Sudan from the penalty spot after Ola Aina was penalised for a challenge, but it was already job done for Nigeria.
With the three points already in the kitty, Coach Austin Eguavoen’s men have secured not just a place in the Round of 16 but also topped the Group D in the tournament.
Todays’s victory comes a few days after the Super Eagles of Nigeria claimed a key win to open their Group D campaign at the AFCON as they defeated Egypt last Tuesday evening.
