The Amavubis of Rwanda has made history. The Eastern African Country recorded their first ever victory against the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Though, the Super Eagles have booked a place at the 2025 African Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco, prompting Coach Augustine Eguavoen to make Seven Changes in the Starting Line Up, with Maduka Okoye, Bright Samuel-Osayi, Raphael Onyedika, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Alhassan Yusuf, Moses Simon and Victor Boniface Okoh.
This, however, didn’t metamorphose into anything tangible as the Super Eagles were woeful in the first half, recording just one shot on target.
In the second half, Eguavoen Introduced Samuel Chukwueze and Frank Onyeka into the game and this paid off in the second as an individual effort from Chukwueze gave the Super Eagles the lead.
Few minutes later, Ange Mutsinzi equalized with a beautiful header, before Innocent Nshuti made it 2-1 three minutes to condemn the Super Eagles into a home defeat.
With the defeat, Nigeria still remain top of the table with 11 Points, with Benin Republic finishing with Eight Points, with Rwanda, but the Cheetahs of Benin Republic qualify for the continental showpiece on superior goal difference, with Libya finishing last on the Group.
