Super Eagles qualify for AFCON 2023

Nigeria have booked their place at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, thanks to a dramatic 3-2 win over Sierra Leone.

Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, scored a first-half brace as the three-time African champions raced into a two-goal lead.

However, Mustapha Bundu pulled one back for the Leone Stars, before Augustus Kargbo made it 2-2.

With virtually the last kick of the game in Monrovia, Liberia, the Super Eagles grabbed a late winner with Kelechi Iheanacho tapping in Zaidu Sanusi’s cross.

Jose Peseiro’s men are now top of Group with 10 point and ahead of Guinea-Bissau on goal difference.
