The Super Eagles of Nigeria secured a vital 2-0 win over Rwanda on Friday, bolstering their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The victory at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali was a dominant display by Nigeria, marking a perfect start for new head coach Éric Chelle, who took charge of the team just days before the match.
Victor Osimhen was the star of the show, scoring both goals for Nigeria. He broke the deadlock in the 11th minute with a clinical finish, and just before halftime, Osimhen doubled the lead with another precise strike, leaving the Rwandan defense with little to respond to.
The victory was crucial for the Super Eagles, who are currently in a challenging position in their World Cup qualifying group. With Chelle at the helm, the team showed determination and focus, characteristics that will be key to their campaign moving forward.
The 2-0 scoreline reflects Nigeria's superiority, with Osimhen's clinical finishing providing the necessary edge. This win will surely boost the Super Eagles' morale as they look to build on this positive result in their upcoming fixtures, hoping to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
