Nigeria Travels By Boat To AfCoN Qualifier, Wins On Last-Second Header
Nigeria confirmed top spot in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group with a dramatic last-gasp 1-0 win away over neighbor Benin on Saturday, having already secured their place at the finals before kick off.
Nigeria’s place at the tournament in Cameroon next January was confirmed earlier on Saturday when the other two countries in Group L — Lesotho and Sierra Leone — played out a drab goalless draw in Maseru, ensuring at least a top-two finish for leaders Nigeria.
