The Super Eagles of Nigeria secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Libya in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Saturday, bolstering their chances in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers (AFCON Qualifiers). The win brings Nigeria’s tally to seven points from three games.
Libya employed a defensive strategy, seeking a draw, but Nigeria’s relentless pressure ultimately paid off. Substitute Fisayo Dele-Bashiru scored the decisive goal in the 86th minute, converting Moses Simon’s precise cross to send the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium into raptures.
Interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen celebrated his second victory in three 2025 AFCON qualifiers. However, Nigeria’s victory was nearly thwarted by poor finishing and a contentious offside call.
The two teams will face off again in Benina, Libya, on Tuesday in their fourth Group D second-leg match. The rematch promises to be an intense encounter as Libya seeks revenge.
According to reports, Nigeria dominated possession but struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The Super Eagles’ persistence ultimately paid off, securing a vital three points.
Eguavoen’s tactical adjustments, including Dele-Bashiru’s introduction, proved decisive. The victory boosts Nigeria’s morale ahead of the return leg.
The Super Eagles will aim to build on this momentum as they seek to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
