Nigeria rounded off their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifying series with a shock 2-1 defeat to Rwanda.
The game was played at the Godswill Akpabio International
Stadium in Uyo.
The Super Eagles came into the game already qualified for
next year’s tournament as Group D winners.
And it was the three-time African champions who took the
lead in the 59th minute through a fine solo goal from Samuel Chukwueze.
But the Rwandans replied with two quick goals from Ange
Mutsinzi and Innocent Nshuti to claim their first ever win over Nigeria.
This is the first defeat under interim manager, Augustine
Eguavoen, who might be stepping down from the role.
