2019 AFCON: Nigeria Qualify for Knockout Stage

The Super Eagles became the first team to qualify for the knockout stage of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations after they defeated the Syli National of Guinea by a lone goal.

Kenneth Omeruo headed in the only goal of the match on the 73rd minute. With this victory, the Super Eagles now have six points from two games.

Another good news for Nigeria was the introduction of Samuel Kalu, who fainted during training on Friday, in the last moments of the game.

Today’s second match is in the second half with scores tied 1-1 between the Cranes of Uganda and the Warriors of Zimbabwe.
