AFCON 2021: Super Eagles Qualifies for Next Round

Nigeria’s Super Eagles have qualified for the second round of the Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon 2021, defeating Sudan 3-1 to do so. 

The win was their second in as many game and will ease whatever tension there was heading into the final group stage match against Guinea Bissau. 

Samuel Chukwueze opened scoring three minutes into the game, stroking home from a Moses Simon pass. 

Taiwo Awoniyi got the second after a Troost-Ekong header bounced off the striker and beat the Sudanese goalkeeper who should have done better. 

Moses Simon joined the goal scoring party just after the second half began while Sudan got their consolation from the spot after Ola Aina fouled in the penalty box.

Meanwhile, Egypt also won their match against Guinea Bissau with a goal by Mohammed Salah in the 69th minute. (Vanguardngr)
