Following the hard fought win against Libya yesterday in the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series in Uyo, Super Eagles who are closer than ever to securing their qualification are set for one hurdle in Benina, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s 86th minute strike off a cross from Moses Simon gave Coach Augustine Eguavoen his 15th victory in charge of Nigeria (over 25 matches).
The Eagles stay top of the pool, one point ahead of Benin Republic’s Cheetahs who routed Rwanda’s Amavubi 3-0 in another Matchday 3 encounter.
Victory for the Eagles in Benina on Tuesday night will virtually seal a ticket to the 35th Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco, with the Cheetahs also to join if they overcome the Amavubi in their own return in Kigali.
