Abuja (Precise Post) – Nigeria’s national team, the Super Eagles on Saturday beat Sudan 3-1 to qualify to the group 16 Stage of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Super Eagle join hosts Cameroon in the last 16 with a game to spare.
Nigeria made the best possible start to the latest edition of AFCON, with Kelechi Iheanacho’s first-half goal deservedly seeing off Mohamed Salah and seven-time champions Egypt in a heavyweight Group D clash in Garoua.
It was a statement victory from Augustine Eguavoen’s side, who will seal their spot in the knockout stages with another triumph at the Stade Roumde Adjia on Saturday afternoon.
Nigeria – whose last AFCON title came in 2013 – will be heavy favourites to beat 1970 champions Sudan, who are appearing at the tournament for the first time in a decade.
The last group stage match for Nigeria comes up on Wednesday.
